Porirua City at orange setting
Porirua is now at the orange setting of the Covid-19 traffic lights protection framework.
This means some changes to the way we work and live, as we put protections in place to help minimise the spread of Covid-19 in the community.
Vaccine passes will be required at all indoor Council facilities, and all Council staff must be fully vaccinated by 17 January 2021. These measures are in place to protect the health and safety of our community and our staff.
Our facilities at orange setting
At orange, public facilities are open. Visitors must scan in and wear masks (other than when swimming, exercising or eating/drinking) and stay 1 metre from others. In some cases, numbers in a venue will be limited to meet the 1 metre spacing requirement.
Vaccine passes
As we transition into the new system there may be some delays on entering premises. Please be patient as our staff do our best to get everyone through quickly and safely.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t 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?
