I am pleased the Commonwealth and New South Wales governments have joined forces to establish the media centre near the Sydney central business district. The Centre will provide all media representatives high quality facilities and information services to assist in the preparation of their stories. We are using the global media spotlight on Australia as a rare opportunity to project Australia's distinctive features and advantages in areas including technical innovation, advanced financial and business services, scientific discovery, multicultural cohesiveness, indigenous culture, artistic excellence and a unique tourist destination. The Centre also boasts an outdoor studio for television interviews with an attractive backdrop of the city skyline and Sydney Harbour. The Sydney Media Centre will operate until 10 October 2000.
Registration is open free of charge to all bona fide media.
