The New South Wales transport department is set to undergo significant downsizing, with nearly 1,000 jobs being cut as part of a restructure. An email from Transport for NSW secretary Josh Murray, which has been reviewed by 9news.com.au, confirms that approximately 950 senior service manager and award positions will be eliminated. This move is part of the department’s assessment of its operational framework.
This latest round of job cuts follows an earlier announcement regarding the reduction of 300 senior executive roles. The decision reflects ongoing efforts within the state government to streamline operations and possibly tackle budgetary constraints.
