Usage/Restrictions:
Certain floors of the Chief Secretary’s Building may be available for case-by-case filming requests. All filming surveys/requests require a practical lead in timeframe, to allow for the transient nature of tenancy within the building areas/multiple courtrooms which may impact availability and require detailed planning of access. There is no parking on site. Productions need to consider this upfront in their planning.
Please note in advance while it is inevitable you may see certain floors within a survey of this historic building there are certain floors that are simply off-limits to any commercial use.

About:
The Gadigal people of the Eora nation are the traditional custodians of the land on which Macquarie Street was constructed.
Completed in 1881, the Chief Secretary’s Building is, by design, a symbol of power and politics. The building served as the seat of government administration for 120 years, and following a refurbishment, now houses a variety of short-term tenants. Heritage-listed as a building of both state and national cultural significance, it falls within a group of early buildings on Macquarie Street collectively called ‘a poem in stone’.
