Civil servants could move to Porirua

Reporter Community News

State Services Minister Chris Hipkins would like to see some civil servants move to Porirua.

Hipkins says hubs outside Wellington would take pressure off existing offices in Wellington. Wellington’s public sector employs about 27,000, while there are about 37,000 in the private sector. A Cabinet paper tabled last year revealed the State Services Commission wanted to “reduce the footprint” of government workers in the Wellington and Auckland regions, and move agencies elsewhere when possible.

What do you think of moving some state servants to Porirua?
