Taranaki Moving To Orange Under New Traffic Light System

 

· From Friday December 3rd NPDC will be operating at Orange under the Government’s new Traffic Light System in a bid to curb the spread of Covid.

· All sites are open for all to enjoy, including our libraries, art gallery, museum, zoo, parks, venues and pools. You’ll need to continue scanning in, wearing a mask and socially distancing.

· There’ll be a period of adjustment as we ease into the new rules, so thanks for being patient and respecting our fabulous staff who are doing their best to keep us all safe.

· Under the Government’s new system, you’ll need My Vaccine Pass to go to cafes at Puke Ariki library and the Todd Energy Aquatic Centre, and for the Govett Brewster Art-Gallery cinema and events.

· You’ll also need a vaccine pass to attend events or for hiring venues at the TSB Showplace and TSB Stadium.

· Our swimming pools are open for all to enjoy without needing to show My Vaccine Pass (except for using the sauna, spa or fitness centre).

· We are looking forward to a great summer and appreciate your help in following the new Government rules at Orange.

For Covid-19 advice

· Vaccination is our best defence against catching the virus so we encourage everyone to get full vaccinated and get My Vaccine Pass
