LOBBY GROUP WELCOMES PARTIAL SBS RELOCATION
NEWS that an SBS hub will be opened in Western Sydney has been welcomed by the Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue, which has long advocated for the multi-cultural broadcaster to be relocated to the West.
The Government has announced that a TV studio, radio and podcasts booths and collaboration spaces would be opened in Western Sydney, but said a full relocation was too costly.
In 2023, the Albanese government announced it would lead a feasibility study into a possible relocation of SBS from its Artarmon headquarters to Western Sydney, alongside a multi-purpose space for content creation and public use.
Dialogue Chairman, Christopher Brown, said while the new Western Sydney SBS studio wasn’t “the full hog”, it sent the right signal to Sydney’s multicultural heartland.
“We’ve been on this journey for a decade and are delighted to get some progress finally. It’s not the full hog, but it’s a nice start,” Mr Brown said.
