Entry requirements for RLC venues in Red traffic light setting
My Vaccine Pass will be required at most Rotorua Lakes Council venues and facilities from 11.59pm Thursday 2 December.
The introduction of My Vaccine Pass as a requirement to enter Council facilities will apply to all users aged 12 and over while Rotorua is in the red traffic light setting.
This is seen as the best way to ensure the safety of our community and minimise the spread of COVID-19.
More information on council facilities and venues will be available on the RLC website in the coming days.
A reminder that Rotorua is in Alert Level 2 until we move to the traffic light system. Information on Council services in Alert Level 2 is here.
Please follow health guidelines at all venues: scan in, wear a face covering and maintain physical distancing.
