ABC News Sydney will relocate from Ultimo to Parramatta on September 30 .
The 7pm bulletin will broadcast from a new studio, yet to be completed, on the promenade of the new building.
The building was opened in May with the official ceremony led by ABC Chair Kim Williams, ABC Managing Director David Anderson, and Member for Parramatta Dr Andrew Charlton.
The relocation to western Sydney is a part of ABC’s Five-Year Plan to see 75% of content makers working outside its Ultimo head office by 2025.
But not everybody is happy about the move.
The Age reports union representatives meeting management around plans to relocate ABC Sydney radio staff. All Sydney radio shows are expected to move to the new facility. There are also concerns in luring guests to the building 27km west of Sydney.
ABC is also seeking tenants to occupy levels 8 to 14 of its Ultimo building to help fund its occupancy in Parramatta.
Around half of the ABC’s 3825 ongoing staff are located in NSW.
