Photograph - Photograph - Colour, Site of the State Revenue Office, Ballarat Technology Park, c2000
The State Revenue Office (SRO) is a $5 million world-class purpose built revenue collection facility employing over 200 people. SRO relocated 40% of its operations from Melbourne to the Ballarat Technology Park, creating more than 180 employment opportunities for skilled people from the region. The Ballarat facility houses the majority of the SRO's operations capability and utilises state-of-the-art technology. The BTP was selected to host the SRO after a feasibility study revealed that Ballarat was an ideal regional centre to support this important government function. The BTP enables the SRO to be in close proximity to an existing cluster of technology based enterprises and organisations, as well as education, training and research opportunities presented to SRO staff at the nearby Federation University. Three coloured photographs of people on the site of State Revenue Office, Ballarat Technology Park. The man being interviewed is Premier John Brumby. Geoff Howard MP and University of Ballarat Vice Chancellor Kerry Cox stand to his right.
