The Transport Agency says another 38 jobs could go, on top of the 145 it has already proposed as part of wider public sector cost-cutting measures.
The agency is releasing job cut proposals in tranches – and on Tuesday, it announced a net reduction of 33 in its system leadership team, and five in its business support services team.
That takes its total job losses to 183.
More than 100 are from programmes canned or scaled back by the new government, like Clean Car Discount, Climate Emergency Response Fund, and Let’s Get Wellington Moving.
Waka Kotahi’s announcement also tips RNZ’s calculation of total public sector job losses to more than 5000.
More to come…
