Covid19  Protocol Update

Building Team at the RED Light Setting (24 Jan 2022)

The change to the RED light setting has started on 24 January 2022. This setting still allows our staff to continue providing all of our normal building control functions and duties.

All of our staff are double vaccinated and receiving their booster shots when eligible. We will continue to exercise 1m social distancing and the wearing of masks when performing any functions where this is not achievable or in public places (eg site inspections).

If you have any questions relating to the services the building team provide, please contact  the Building Control Manager on 027 434 6053 or email jayson.ellis@timdc.govt.nz

Please stay safe and remember to be kind to each other.
