Administration
The district is administered by the Kapiti Coast District Council, a local body elected by residents every three years. The council consists of a mayor and 10 councillors. Residents also elect a community board for their local area. There are four of these, each with four members: Otaki, Waikanae, Paraparaumu/Raumati and Paekakariki. The Wellington Regional Council (branded as Greater Wellington) is responsible for regional governance of the district including public transport, water and environmental management.
