Tea Party Building & Car Park Closure

Kia ora koutou!

With Tea Party happening this Saturday 18th of October, our car park closure and site built has commenced. From today until Monday 20th of October, parts of the Haere-roa car park will be closed so that we can set up for Tea Party. This will result in limited car parking at the Haere-roa car park for this period of time.

The Main entrance to Haere-roa will be closed from 3pm on Friday 17th October. Staff and students will still be able to access reception via the social space, and the Foundry via the external entrance.

At 6pm, the gate across the Haere-roa Rainbow bridge will be closed. Staff and students will need to access the Carpark via the health centre bridge.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us at events@ucsa.org.nz
