After reviewing feedback and considering alternatives through its consultation process, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is pleased to advise it will maintain a presence in Geelong.
During consultation it was made clear that all stakeholders, in particular our staff and leaders, would like to pursue options which could ensure the site remains vibrant and viable.
The ATO will now undertake a standard leasing process as set out in the Commonwealth Property Management Framework, to procure a new lease in Geelong. We hope to finalise this process by the end of 2020.
The ATO is committed to maintaining a strong presence in regional Australia as we understand that being a part of the community is essential for continued public trust and confidence in the tax and super system.
