• a recent migrant (within last six months)
• on the green prescription (GRx) scheme
• a SuperGold Card holder
• a city housing tenant.

Community Service Card & Passport to Leisure

SuperGold Card and Community Services Card

The Leisure Card replaces the Passport to Leisure, in which you could use your Community Services Card to access discounts.

We made this change to give more discounts at more places - and to make the card available to more people.

By offering the discounts only to Wellington city residents, we're also acknowledging the contribution ratepayers make to running these services.
