Opening hours changing temporarily at Council’s Westport office

01 Mar 2022

Council’s Westport office will reduce its opening hours to 10am – 2pm for the remainder of this week.

Buller District Council’s acting group manager Krissy Trigg says council has switched to staff operating in two teams.

“This is to assist with maintaining essential services should the Omicron protection framework prevent staff coming into the office.

And we are juggling training new staff while sick leave has reduced the number of available team members, so we are not able to deliver our usual services all day.”

Ms Trigg says council acknowledges the reduced opening hours will cause inconveniences.

“We are committed to delivering essential services through changing environments and will revert back to normal opening hours as soon as possible.”
