Services and facilities in Capital at COVID-19 Alert Level 2
Kia ora Pōneke,
From 11:59pm tonight, Sunday 14 February, Wellington, along with most of New Zealand, will be re-entering COVID-19 Alert Level 2. This will last until midnight, Wednesday 17 February, unless otherwise announced.
It follows the news that in Auckland there are three positive cases of COVID-19. The Auckland Region will move to Alert Level 3 for the same period.
These changes of Alert Level will be reviewed on a 24-hour basis and with daily updates, the first being on Monday afternoon (15 February).
We've been through this before, and it's time for us to unite once again.
For information on how Council services and facilities will operate during Alert Level 2, please visit our website here:

Be kind and stay safe, Wellington. He waka eke noa! 💛

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
