YOUR SAFETY AND WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN SHOPPING WITH US:
FACE MASKS:
A face mask is required to be worn in-centre at all times; however, you do not need to wear a face mask outdoors.
A face covering will need to be an actual mask and attached to the head by loops around the ears or head. This means scarves, bandannas, or t-shirts are not to be used.
QR CODES:
The centre has a NZ COVID Tracer QR Code at all entrances as well as at centre bathrooms and amenities. From 11.59 pm on March 25, there is no requirement to scan in or for a business to display a QR code poster or have mandatory record keeping.
You may continue to scan the QR codes around the centre if you wish.
MANAGEMENT OF CUSTOMER NUMBERS:
While we are operating under Red Light, the number of people in the Centre at any one time must be monitored and limited in accordance with the requirements of the New Zealand Government.
Each individual retailer at Westgate Lifestyle will monitor the amount of people in their store. If a store is nearing capacity then you may need to queue outside the store, following the social distancing guidelines.
