Covid-19 and Wellington

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

During Alert Level 4, guidance from the Government and Ministry of Health stipulates that the council can still provide essential services, but non-essential operations must cease for the safety of staff and the community. That means parks and pools are closed.

Mayor Andy Foster says it’s very frustrating to be back in this position, but as a city we all need to work together to protect our people, our economy, and our more vulnerable communities.

“For Wellington City Council, Alert Level 4 means our staff and contractors will be following safety protocols to keep themselves and our community safe. This includes limiting contact with the public and providing more services online or over the phone wherever we can.”

Rubbish will still be collected, but there will be changes to the recycling kerbside collections.
EnviroWaste will not be collecting glass recycling while we are in Level 4.

All recreation facilities, libraries, and other community venues are also closed. Check the council website for more information.
