Our doors are open under Covid Alert Level 2

Trish Seddon from Te Awamutu Museum

Nau mai haere mai and welcome back!

We are thrilled to let you know that the Te Awamutu Museum is open at Alert Level 2 from 10am to 4pm Mon - Fri and 10am - 2pm Sat.

Taking care of our community at Alert Level 2

Visitors will be asked to scan our QR code when they enter, or provide their name and contact details to staff if they cannot use the QR code. It is a Government requirement that you keep a record of where you have been (at all Alert Levels) so contact tracing can happen quickly in the event of a Covid-19 outbreak.

While visiting Te Awamutu Museum, you'll need to maintain two-metre physical distancing from other people. To make sure we can keep visitors at a safe distance as they move through the Museum, numbers will be limited to a total of 10 inside the Museum at one time with other limits on specific galleries.

Government requirements mean that it is mandatory for staff and visitors to wear a face covering in public areas at Te Awamutu Museum. This is to keep you, your whānau, and the community safe.

Staying home over the break?

The long weekend is the perfect time to make your place safer for an earthquake with these steps:

• Find out where you can turn off your water and gas mains
• Check your chimney for any signs of wear and tear, or damage
• Check your home's foundations are secured
• Move heavy items that are up high to safer, lower down locations.
• Secure tall and heavy furniture and appliances

These simple actions can keep your whānau safer in case of a big shake, so tick them off and make the most of your break.

Rates increases

Sharon from Leamington

If council borrowing is at limit then stop spending our money . Rates increases are too high.
We are paying for projects such as adding speed humps, removing car lanes for bike tracks out of our rates.
If they want to add infrastructure then make developers pay for it.
Council appears to be trying to shut business in town down
