Office closure

Our offices in Queenstown and Wānaka will close at midday on Tuesday 24 December and reopen at 8.00am on Friday 3 January 2025.

How to report a problem over the holidays

As always, we’ll still have a team of people available 24/7 to take your call and help resolve any urgent issues that crop up – just give us a call on 03 441 0499 (Queenstown) or 03 443 0024 (Wānaka). 

Another option for non-urgent issues is Snap, Send, Solve – a handy little app that allows you to report issues in your local area on the spot, using your mobile device. These issues are then automatically sent our way! Please note, these will not be monitored over the Christmas closedown but we’ll pick them up when we’re back.   

Library closure

Our libraries will close at 3.00pm on Tuesday 24 December for the Christmas break and reopen on Friday 27 December.

For the New Year, libraries will close at 3.00pm on Tuesday 31 December, reopening on Friday 3 January.

We wish you a happy and safe holiday season!
