Travelling to our Goulburn Street office
Our office is at Level 14, 59 Goulburn Street, Sydney, opposite the World Square (see map).
Getting to our Goulburn Street office by public transport, cycling and walking is not only easy, it's good for the environment and your health.
- Reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions: Transport is Australia's third-largest and fastest growing source of greenhouse emissions.
- Protect air quality: More than half the air pollution on a typical Sydney day comes from vehicles. If everyone in Sydney walked, cycled or caught public transport just one day a week, around 2400 tonnes of smog-forming chemicals and 13 tonnes of fine particle pollution would be eliminated each year.
- Improve health: Just three 10-minute walks a day helps maintain health and fitness.
