DOC to cut 124 net roles due to government savings, impacting NZ's conservation efforts.
The PSA warns that the Department of Conservation (DOC) is cutting 124 net roles due to government savings, which will impact its work in safeguarding NZ's national identity and conservation estate. DOC will disestablish 257 roles, but create 133, with 114 of the disestablished roles already vacant. The PSA expresses concern for the higher workloads faced by remaining staff, and the potential impact on NZ's unique natural habitats and Iwi Māori as kaitiaki of natural spaces.
