Fleur’s Place closes to navigate new rules

Confusion over the rules for hospitality operators trying to navigate the new traffic light protection framework has led to the unexpected closure of a celebrated seaside restaurant at Moeraki. Fleur’s Place announced it was temporarily closing till Monday so staff could better understand the new rules following confusion over mandatory vaccinations for staff. Staff member Mariebelle Winters said staff had met to discuss how to handle the situation on Thursday, as owner Fleur Sullivan was away in Fiordland and out of cellphone range. ‘‘It was confusing, although perhaps we might have been a little naive. We were not sure if unvaccinated people could work or not.’’ They had decided not to open the restaurant because some staff members were not vaccinated.
