The Wellington City Council listened to ideas provided by the region's hospitality, tourism and retail industries and after last Thursday’s City Council meeting approved a wide range of measures to help businesses as part of a pandemic response and recovery plan which included assistance specifically for the city’s hugely important hospitality industry.
A number of other regional councils are in initial stages of putting together their own economic recovery programmes. The Restaurant Association will be sharing further details as they come through.
