INSIDE OUT

Michael from Trentham

New NZ Covid regulations gives unlimited attendances at sports matches and competitions when staged outdoors. An example is the Hurricanes and the Phoenix at Sky Stadium. Great news of course all round with crowd participation an important factor.
Indoor events are restricted at present to 200 and for good reason.
So in Dunedin the Forsyth Barr indoor stadium is used for Super and National rugby competitions involving Highlanders and Otago.
Just what is the status of this venue in regard to the lastest Covid rules? The roof cannot simply be moved off and on within hours of an event.

I think the Govt has given FBS an exemption.

Which reminds me that Sky Stadium is famous for its surround-around internal facility used for indoor events and crowd congregating before, during and after outdoor events - but this too is not restricted to 200 people at a time.

Another exemption it seems.

Advice please, declined house insurance cover

Jane from Pinehaven

Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
