π· Mask update π·
The Government requirements around what masks must be worn at public facilities have changed.
Masks are mandatory at our Libraries, Neighbourhood Hubs, and Museums. They can no longer be a t-shirt, bandana or scarf. It needs to cover your mouth and nose, and attach with ear or head loops.
If you have a mask exemption card please show this to staff. Do not be offended if we ask you to wear a mask, it is not always obvious when someone has an exemption.
πββοΈ POOLS πβ
The rules around where and when you need to wear a face mask at our pools remain the same, just when you're entering or moving about the facility.
Masks can be removed before you hop in the pool and start swimming. If you're supervising or just watching, we ask that you keep your mask on.
Ensuring you have the right mask, and that it is worn properly, will improve the overall effectiveness of wearing them and help reduce transmission of COVID-19, including Omicron. Thanks for helping keep everyone safe!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnβt have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
