Farmlands will now work with its Dunedin staff to keep the site operating in conjunction with its Christchurch office. The farming co-operative says it will now try to see if it can function well with what will likely be a "residual" Dunedin office working with a bigger Christchurch operation. If it does not meet certain targets, moving the Dunedin office north is still an option. Earlier this month the organisation proposed moving about 100 Dunedin workers from its support office on Cumberland St to its Christchurch office, while keeping the store it has here. Working from home and a change of hours were possibilities for Dunedin staff who stayed, Mr Reidie said.
