CSIRO MEDIA RELEASE 95/145

CSIRO TO ESTABLISH MELBOURNE CBD OFFICE

CSIRO Chief Executive Dr Roy Green today issued a statement to staff on future arrangements for CSIRO Head Office. The main points concern the establishment of a Business Office in the Central Business District of Melbourne, and the closure of the present Head Office at Parkville.

An edited version of the statement follows:

• The CSIRO Board agreed at its meeting on 5 December 1995 to establish a small Corporate Business Office in the Melbourne Central Business District and to vacate the premises at 407 Royal Parade, Parkville. Incoming Chief Executive Dr Malcolm McIntosh will work out of the Corporate Business Office when in Melbourne.

• Dr McIntosh's primary base will be in Canberra to reflect the importance of Government as CSIRO's principal stake-holder.

• The Corporate Business Office in Melbourne will comprise a core group of staff including the Chief General Manager of Corporate Business, Dr Tom Biegler. The move to the CBD in Melbourne is designed to provide increased access to key staheholders in the business community.

Dr Green said: "I believe these decisions will help us move forward in both trialing and implementing structural change. Dr McIntosh also believes it will provide him with the ability to focus immediately on his liaison with key stake-holders in both Government and the Private Sector."
