Plan to move SBS to western Sydney would ‘punish’ north shore, leaders say

North shore politicians have criticised a feasibility study into relocating the multicultural broadcaster from Artarmon to western Sydney.

moving the multicultural broadcaster to western Sydney “makes sense” as a cultural investment in the city’s west.

The feasibility study will also assess the costs and benefits of an arts hub in western Sydney for content creation, arts or industry training “with SBS at its heart”. James said there had been no suggestion the SBS headquarters at Artarmon were not fit for purpose until the Albanese government announced the study.

James said north shore suburbs such as Chatswood and Artarmon were among the most multicultural centres in the state.“We all want to see western Sydney flourish, but it should not come at the expense of one of Sydney’s biggest and most significant multicultural areas in Willoughby,” he said.
