The Restaurant Association is aware of the hardships businesses are currently experiencing throughout the country with the damage left from Cyclone Gita. We are working with Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) to support businesses in affected regions to provide emergency information and local resources and setting up community meetings.
We are in contact with member businesses particularly in the Golden Bay and New Plymouth regions, where the cyclone has had a major effect.
Though we recognise that the boil water notice has been lifted after 10 days in the New Plymouth region, we continue to encourage our member businesses in the region to stay in touch for updates on their status.
With the State Highway 60 severely damaged in the aftermath of ex-cyclone Gita, we are looking to create and provide support for the local businesses affected in Takaka, Onekaka, Collingwood and surrounding areas. Please keep in touch with us regarding your status.
Members can login and download the Cyclone Emergency Response Information document to help you make good, safe, sensible and practical decisions during the storm. Please contact the Restaurant Association on 0800 737 827 at any time if you have concerns or questions.
