(a) Obtala Pty Ltd owns the building, and the entire building has been leased to Government since 1987.
(b-d) The building consists of 12 floors, including the ground floor and podium.
All floors are occupied, except for a small amount of vacant space located on the podium and level eight (total vacant space of approximately 250 sqm). Planning is well advanced for a Government agency to shortly occupy the vacant level eight tenancy.
Government tenants occupy approximately 90% of the building, as follows:
· Department of Treasury and Finance;
· Department of Training and Workforce Development;
· Department of Health;
· Department for Child Protection;
· Department of Planning;
· Department of Regional Development and Lands;
· Department of Commerce;
· South West Development Commission;
· Department of Environment and Conservation;
· Western Australian Tourism Commission;
· Department of Education;
· Department of Mines and Petroleum; and
· Water Corporation.
The remaining space has been sub-let to private tenants, as follows:
· Stratagen Pty Ltd (podium); and
· Bankwest and BHP Billiton Aluminium (level seven).
Another private tenant, Ocean Broadband Pty Ltd, a communications provider, has a telecommunications license which consists of a rooftop antennae plus a small distribution framework board located in the building.
