Covid-19 Alert Level update
Kia ora Pōneke, from midday on Wednesday 12 August, Wellington, along with most of New Zealand, will be re-entering Covid-19 Alert Level 2. This will last until midnight on Friday.
It follows the news that in Auckland there are four positive cases of COVID-19 from an unknown source. The Auckland Region will move to Alert Level 3 for the same period.
Here's what we all can do to help:
- Continue or get back to stringent hand hygiene, sneeze and cough into your elbow.
- If you or a family member are unwell please stay at home and contact Healthline or your GP about getting a test.
- Practise physical distancing of two metres wherever possible.
- Consider wearing a mask in public spaces or places where it is hard to physically distance.
For more information on health advice or the Alert Levels, please go to: covid19.govt.nz...
We will be updating the Council website and social channels tomorrow. Be kind and stay safe, Wellington. We're all in this together. 💛🖤💛🖤

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?
