Does this have anything to do with recent experiences on The Hobbit?
Office closings happen all the time, so this could be inconsequential...

The linked site re-wrote a longer article by tv.co.nz here. The source article indicates it's a distribution office and, later, implies it's Warner Video, which is only for distribution of video (movies and games) as the Warner home site says here. The Warner site also implies outsourcing is common via "global supply chain infrastructure, retailer relationships and category management expertise.
Given all that, WB handing over distribution of home video/games to a local NZ company seems like a non-event. It seems to have nothing to do with production or film-making.
That said, I'll see if we can get some clarification.

As someone who occasionally posts stories on the Home Page, I've learned it's sometimes helps clarify things, or provides more information, by finding the source article and reading it too (not to mention being good etiquette to refer to it in your own recap - as the site you linked to did).

they're clearing their desks and calendars for some more serious business 
It'd be interesting to see if they're doing it in other locations. Online video rentals/usage is killing the physical purchase/renting businesses.
Yeah, I'll bet they're re-organizing their mission in NZ... like my office is over the summer. We're still here, just going to be doing different things.

I hope it's just a matter of turning its distribution process over to a local New Zealand. I would like to think WB feels it has a close relationship to the country at this point. I think when all is said and done, 5 of their biggest, maybe the 5 biggest movies in their library will be tied to NZ. I have to believe that relationship will lead to other movie deals to be filmed out of Wellington and maybe some more exhibition and tourism opportunities related to the LotR/Hobbit movies over the coming years.
