Australia Post State Headquarters

For over 150 years the management of postal services in South Australia has been centred around the General Post Office. How times have changed, and Adelaide’s GPO, in common with most of the GPO’s around Australia now serves another purpose.

Australia Post recently relocated to a purpose built fitout on Level 2 & 3 of Tower 8 (aiming for a 5 Greenstar and 4.5 NABERS rating). The fitout maintains a nationwide commitment to open plan with minimal offices. Workstations are pushed to the north and south facades, locating staff adjacent light and views and allowing maximum penetration of natural light. Meeting spaces, quiet rooms and utility areas are located centrally, divided in three sections to service each side of the floor, the central core housing a training facility and large singular break area.

Front of house meeting and reception is also located on Level 3. AV is integrated throughout the facility to provide network connectivity appropriate for a national corporation.

The overall feel is warm, open, flexible and efficient, contemporary without being trendy. We can’t say if Post will be in this location for the next 150 years but hope this fitout sees them prepared for the future.
