The project involved the design, construction and lease arrangements for an 8,000m2 new purpose built facility at Kelvin Grove and relocation of existing operations from the Queen St/ Adelaide St facility. Base building cost is $65m and ARCBS fitout contract value is $25m. The total ARCBS budget, including ancilliary costs is approximately $38m.

TGA Audit was the 7/8th February 2008, the Adelaide Street offices were vacated by 30 November 2007 and the Queen Street facility was vacated by 28 February 2008.
