Covid in Tahunanui – What a Surprise.

Tony from Tahunanui

Unlike Pohara and other campgrounds Tahunanui campground did not require vaccination passes. Now they are asking everyone there between January 30 and February 5 to get tested as a camper has been found positive.
Tahuna Beach Holiday Park chief executive David Pattinson has today cheerfully announced the campground had been “taking all precautions, and some” since the Christmas break and “we are following Ministry of Health guidelines to the letter at this point”.

Note ‘at this point’ rather than ‘right from the start’.

Beforehand the camp had advised Stuff media that masks would be required but living nearby I can report masks were pretty well not to be seen although, now it’s too late, the camp may become a little more proactive.

I hope the camp’s laissez faire attitude to Covid (presumably preferring money to community health) has not resulted in a spreader event for all of the out of town campers or those of us lucky enough to share our town with Tahunanui camp and its managers.

Good to know where our rates are going........

Justine from The Brook

Letter from council as follows:

Good afternoon Justine,

In response to your enquiry regarding track maintenance in Eureka Park where tracks through the redwoods and Greenwood Track are located, our contractors have outlined the following:

A leaf blower is used to

*     Blow the debris out of the gutters to allow the water to drain correctly.

*     Remove the debris and leaf litter off the track surface to allow the water to shed correctly and reduce the slipperiness/unevenness.

These methods of track maintenance are our standard operating procedures, and allow us to manage general water erosion wear and tear on our track surfaces
