COVID Alert Level 4 - TCC update
We are currently at Alert Level 4
and we're working through what this means for our facilities and services and will update you as soon as we can. But here's what you probably want to know now:
♻️ Recycling and waste collection
These will continue but assisted services are suspended under Alert Level 4. The transfer station is also closed.
👩👧👦Parks and playgrounds
Some park gates will remain locked and playgrounds will be closed.
People can exercise under Alert Level 4 but should avoid spaces where you cannot practice safe social distancing or come into contact with surfaces that may not be sanitised.
⛰ Mauao

The Centre will be closed but the call centre is available 24/7. You can reach them on (07) 577 7000.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
