Level 1 Header

This page has been set up to give you the latest council and community updates and any affected services as a result of COVID-19

 

Which council services are still operating?

As of Tuesday 9 June, New Zealand is in Level 1 which means all council services are operating without restrictions.

We will continue to provide a QR code at the entrance to our council buildings to help you keep a digital diary of where you have been, however, we no longer require you to sign-in to access our services, such as the library.

We will continue to provide hand sanitiser and encourage you to use it as we enter the cold and flu season.

  5. If you are told by health authorities to self-isolate you must do so immediately.
  6. If you’re concerned about your wellbeing or have underlying health conditions, work with your GP to understand how best to stay healthy.
  7. Keep track of where you’ve been and who you’ve seen to help contact tracing if needed. Use the NZ COVID Tracer app as a handy way of doing this.
