6) Where is the new office located? The address is 6/25-37 Chapman St, North Blackburn, only 5 mins by car from where we currently are.
7) Why do you want more space? We are growing and have been for many years. The current facilities we have are great but we are very cramped. We are restricted in how much training we can do by the size of the conference room and other factors. We want to do more training and educating on a number of fronts.
8) What do you anticipate to be the revenue that you will receive? We currently pay approx. $30,000 a year in rent. If we are able to rent out 1000²m, we are told by various independent real estate agents that we will receive approx. $170,000 a year in rent. This would make approx. $200,000 a year available for OM Australia.
