Wellington City Council restructure would cut two senior roles

Wellington City Council is consulting on a restructure of its senior leadership that would disestablish, meaning remove, four senior roles and create two new ones. The change would be a net cut of two roles.

The council's chief executive, Matt Prosser, said consultation on the leadership changes was under way. Consultation is the period when staff and others can respond to a proposal before any decision is made.

Under the restructure, four people will compete for two jobs, according to RNZ. The council's executive team, the group of senior managers who report to the chief executive, currently has eight people.

The restructure follows a larger cut earlier in the year. In September, the council cut 47 staff roles in a drive to save more than $4 million.
