NZ Civil Defence are testing the Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system on Sunday 14 June, between 6-7pm ⚠️📲

If you have a hidden second phone for your safety, we recommend turning it off or putting it in flight mode for the duration of the test (6-7pm on Sunday 14 June) to ensure it’s not discovered when the nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert is sent.

Some mobile devices set to silent mode will still emit a sound when the Emergency Mobile Alert test is sent, so switching to flight mode or turning off your device is the only way to avoid the loud sound of the alert.

You can find more information about the Emergency Mobile Alert system, including a factsheet and list of FAQs at 🚨 https://getready.govt.nz/en/prepared/ema

🚨Temporary Toilet & Facility Closure - Pioneer Park & Central🚨

Update Thursday 11 June 1.45pm: The toilets have now reopened. Central Stories will re-open tomorrow morning and Central Cinema is operating this evening.
______

Please be advised that the public toilets at Pioneer Park are closed while we repair a water main leak.

Due to the leak, Central Stories is also closed during this time.

We are working hard to resolve this and expect to have the leak repaired by Friday.

The nearest toilets for use are the Riverside toilets on Tarbert St and the Golden Block toilets on Brandon St behind Paper Plus.

We appreciate your understanding while we get this repair sorted.

We will update this post when the facilities are open again.
