Sixty jobs will go under a major Christchurch City Council restructure.
Chief executive Karleen Edwards has announced the restructure as the organisation prepares to lead the city, as CERA transitions its responsibilities.
No specific staff or departments have been targeted.
Ms Edwards said the proposed changes would span the entire council, however front-line staff will evade the firing line.
Staff were made aware of the proposal earlier this week.
They'll have the opportunity to comment before a final decision is made at the end of October.
