Rockwall closes but other council facilities currently remain open
A decision has been made to close the rockwall at the Taupō Events Centre but all other council facilities are currently open to the public, with additional health and safety measures now in place to minimise any possible risks relating to COVID-19.
Those measures include:
> Making hand-sanitiser available at front desks
> Encouraging hand washing
> Heightening cleaning protocols, especially around well used spaces
> Asking our staff and visitors to stay at home if they feel unwell, or if they suspect they have been exposed to the virus.
