​Possible Disruptions to Council Services Due to Omicron

Kia ora koutou,

Over the past few weeks, we have been making preparations so we can keep operating our services as best we can under the government's COVID-19 traffic light system.

However, due to the ongoing spread of the omicron variant, it's possible that some of our services will be disrupted if our staff become unwell or need to isolate - our Aquatics facilities being a recent example.

We want to give you a heads up about some of the changes you might experience. Some of these may happen at short notice, but keep updated on our website, Facebook page or download our Antenno app.

If council facilities or services are impacted by staff becoming unwell or needing to isolate, this may result in:

• Temporary closure of one or more of our facilities (note: we will contact you if you have made a booking)
• Longer than usual call centre wait times
• Changes to services such as rubbish and recycling kerbside collection
• Delays in processing services such as consents, inspections and licensing

Thank you in advance for your patience and kindness towards our staff as they work hard to continue providing services in challenging circumstances.

Ngā mihi
