ORC to require vaccine passes at customer service points from 21 February

Thursday 10 February 2022

The Otago Regional Council will require visitors and customers at its public offices to show a valid Vaccine Pass from 21 February 2022.

The Otago Regional Council will require visitors and customers at its public offices in Dunedin and Queenstown to show a valid My Vaccine Pass from 21 February 2022.

This will be in addition to the current requirements to scan in using the QR code and wear a mask in ORC offices.

Bus users on the public transport network are not required to have a Vaccine Pass, as public transport is a basic needs service. Scanning the QR code on the bus and wearing a mask are required.

At the current Red traffic light setting, ORC’s customer service opening hours at Philip Laing House in Dunedin and in Queenstown are 8am - 1pm and 2pm - 4:30pm, Monday to Friday.

All enquiries can still be made via phone (0800 474 082) or through our contact us page.
