Sydney Olympic Park. Evolving business hub

A study, commissioned by Sydney Olympic Park Authority (SOPA) and conducted by Mircromex Research, reported 11,000 permanent workers in the park, almost doubling the 6000 permanent workers recorded in 2006. This increase can be credited to a number of organisations that have opened offices in the park, including: the Commonwealth Bank, Fujitsu, and Watpac. SOPA’s Master Plan 2030 provides for more street frontage food and retail options Upcoming developments at 5 Murray Rose Avenue and Australia Towers will include additional retail and public amenities, further improving the choices available to the Park’s residents and workers.
