The latest from the council on Covid
Residents are asked to hold onto their recycling for now. The Silverstream landfill is only open to account holders and the transfer station there is closed.
This alert level change means there will be no public access to our libraries and hubs, the Dowse Art Museum, Little Theatre and Petone Settlers Museum, recreation and sport centres including RICOH, Walter Nash and our swimming pools are closed. Artesian water taps are closed.
All parks will remain open, but playgrounds and outdoor exercise equipment will be closed. Anyone using the parks will need to stay two-metres away from those who are not part of their bubble.
While parking buildings are closed, council has made city wide parking free again.
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)
