The first phase of office re-locations is underway with staff moving from the DTO into the Pilotage Building on the waterfront. We continue to promote sustainability through events and activities centred around the Natural History Centre at World Museum. Over the last 14 months we have also been planting native wildflowers in front of World Museum.
