The "Over the Fence Cuppa" Project The Kāpiti Coast District Council is inviting you to host an 'Over the Fence' cuppa in your neighbourhood on 29/30 March. We believe building good neighbour relationships is a powerful way to create happier and healthier communities.

Cuppa's can be held at the host's place or at their local park. Hosts may like to host a morning tea, an afternoon tea or evening supper. They may want to have a theme for their cuppa event, run some fun activities or just eat cake and chat.
There are a few things which need to happen for 'Over the Fence Cuppa' events to work;
