Managing director says Parramatta Square relocation to be complete by early 2024 and will put ABC at ‘centre of a dynamic, purpose-built precinct’
when it was welcomed by the then communications minister Paul Fletcher as a “good first move” after criticism from the Coalition that the ABC focused too closely on inner-city Sydney. “Sydney is not Australia and Ultimo is not Sydney,” Fletcher said.“It’s not designed to appease any government, it’s a move that David Anderson and I and the board have decided is in the best interests of the ABC,” Buttrose said last year.
The relocation plan, which has been funded by the sale of ABC property, is to have 75% of journalists and producers working away from Ultimo by 2025. “As a new facility, ABC Parramatta provides a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up. It will be a home for innovation and collaboration, designed and equipped to help us better serve Australians, now and into the future.”Anderson sought to reassure staff they would be consulted about the move.
