Important Information to Customers and Users

From midnight on Monday 27 April, New Zealand moved to Alert Level 3 (L3). During L3 businesses can open their premises or sites if they can do so safely. People need to work from home unless that is not possible.

  • Workplaces must be operating safely (complying with Alert Level 3 settings; meeting appropriate public health requirements; fulfilling all other health and safety obligations)
  • Customers are not allowed on premises
  • Businesses can trade if they do so without physical contact with customers (e.g. through phone/online orders, delivery, contactless pick-up and drive through)
  • Businesses cannot offer services that involve close personal contact, apart from some essential services, or in an emergency or critical situation.

At Port Marlborough, our utmost priority remains the protection of our employees, our customers, users and our community from the spread of COVID-19. However, under Alert Level 3 we will also be facilitating business in accordance with the Government’s guidelines.
