Response:

Good morning Blair,

Manawatū District Council does not have a Smoke Free Policy, however we do have rules that specify where workplace smoking is prohibited.

Areas where workplace smoking or vaping is prohibited include:
• Administration Building
• Library
• Sewage Treatment Plants
• Makino Aquatic Centre
• All Council vehicles
• All Water Treatment Plants and Pumping Stations

As a workplace we provide a quit smoking support program for staff who wish to stop.

Kind Regards
