After 18 years as a tenant at Aputa House in Mahara Place, Waikanae, Kāpiti’s Coast Access Radio is on the move.
Graeme Joyes, station manager, said “it was a joint decision between Coast Access Radio Trust and New Zealand On Air who fund the station that it was best to relocate due to significant cracks in the floor and other areas caused by last year’s earthquakes.”
He added that once the Access Radio Trust realised the condition of the building, they requested the relocation as the building was no longer safe for public use.
Another longtime tenant, Wordsmith of Waikanae, also relocated last month and Angela Rayner now running her business from home.
