Media response - SBS relocation

Published on 18 May 2023

Approach from the Herald Sun

I am emailing in regards to the possible relocation of SBS from its Artarmon headquarters in NSW to Western Sydney. A feasibility study is currently underway.

1. Should SBS move to Western Sydney?
2. Should Melbourne be considered as a possible location given its multicultural heritage?
3. Would you want SBS to be based in your LGA? Why/ why not?

Response

SBS is an Australian institution that plays a crucial role in the lives of our multicultural communities. With over 50% of our residents born overseas, and a thriving technology precinct in Clayton – Monash is perfectly placed to be the new home for the SBS.
