Commissioner James Condon speaks to those gathered at the event in the new territorial headquarters building in Redfern. 

Many of The Salvation Army’s major supporters have been given a guided tour of the building that will house Australia Eastern Territorial Headquarters from mid-next year. 

Territorial Commander Commissioner James Condon invited members of the Territorial Advisory Board and the Territorial Media Advisory Board, to a special function at the building in Redfern, at which he shared the strategic vision for the new headquarters. 

Commissioner Condon spoke about the Army’s ongoing commitment to seeing lives transformed through its social programs and by providing practical help. He acknowledged that this level of commitment would not be possible without the generosity and support of the Army’s many local and corporate donors throughout the territory. 

Peter Alward, the general manager of the Territorial Property Department, provided guests with a comprehensive overview of the newly acquired building that is still in the early stages of a major renovation. 

Moving to the new premises has been identified as a necessity in planning for the future growth of the Australia Eastern Territory. A larger building will not only accommodate Territorial Headquarters-related services currently operating off-site, but also generate significant cost savings through removing the burden of rent currently being paid on a number of premises throughout the city.
