All of New Zealand at Orange
At 11:59pm on Wednesday 13 April 2022, all of New Zealand moved to the Orange setting in our traffic light system.

Other Government requirements in Orange remain in place, such as wearing a face mask when inside facilities to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
For guidelines specific to visiting our recreational facilities (AC Baths, Turtle Pools, Indoor Rockwall and Fitness Studio) please check our facility guidelines.
