Episode Details

The ATO is splashing out $73.4 million to relocate its Adelaide operations to a brand-new 38-story skyscraper, Festival Tower Two — just behind Parliament House — despite critics calling the cost extravagant and questioning why they can’t simply upgrade their existing, less-than-15-year-old office. The agency claims the old fit-out is outdated and inefficient, and the new space will save money long-term, even though exact rent figures remain undisclosed. Property experts argue refurbished space would be cheaper, and question the need for premium real estate. The ATO insists the move followed a competitive process and is preparing contingency plans in case the new tower isn’t ready on time.
