Our top priority is to keep our staff and community safe and to continue to deliver services to our community.
The COVID-19 Protection Framework (traffic light system) is central to the Government’s new minimise and protect strategy. The hard truth is that COVID-19 will spread around New Zealand, and we need to be prepared. The framework is our best tool to do this. It is intended to give as much certainty and stability as possible for people and businesses, reducing the need for widespread lockdowns.
Face coverings are mandatory at public facilities, helping to keep you and others safe. They provide personal protection with a physical barrier, working alongside our other measures like physical distancing, occupancy numbers, and good hygiene.
Orange is one of the settings that form the new COVID-19 Protection Framework, also known as the Traffic Light System. Government defines each region’s settings based on current risk. The initial settings have been based on vaccination rates, as well as current transmission. In future, these will be set based on community transmission and the ability for the health care system to continue to function.
Our health and safety measures are based on Government advice under the new Traffic Light System. These will continue to be in place as required.

Your My Vaccine Pass is required to access to our community facilities that request it. You can use computers at our facilities to download and print your My Vaccine Pass and staff will support you to do this.
From 3 December you will be required to provide your My Vaccine Pass at community facilities including libraries, pools, museums, and hubs. A vaccine pass requires you to have had two doses of the COVID-19 vaccination.
Rates are a tax on property, not a charge for services. Rates are set to have a range of facilities available for use across the city, which people can choose to use, or not. Not being vaccinated is a personal choice and will be treated as any other choice not to use the service.
Council will still be providing some safe contact-less services that don’t require a My Vaccine Pass.

Pools will hold your membership upon your written request for 6 weeks to allow you time to get a vaccine pass. After that if you still do not have a vaccine pass your membership may need to be cancelled.

Under Government guidelines, pool staff are exempt from wearing face coverings.
To provide an accurate record of your movements, you should scan in whenever you enter a building/site/location. This will enable you to receive early notification if you have been at a location of interest and helps trace your movements if you contract COVID-19. It can be difficult to remember your movements in the days following an event, which is why scanning in every time you enter a building provides a clear record.
To meet Government physical distancing requirements which are a further tool to support the health and safety of staff and customers, we have had to consider the space available at our community facilities and put restrictions on occupancy, based on our ability to allow for adequate distancing and movement of people around the site.
Limiting entry to one access point enables us to monitor occupancy numbers where there are limits. It also promotes contact tracing, mask wearing, and other health and safety measures.
