Optus' chief executive, Paul O'Sullivan said the shift to the new headquarters -- comprising six separate buildings with 84,000 square metres of office space at 1 Lyons Park Road, North Ryde -- would allow the company to consolidate operations presently spread across North Sydney, Chatswood and Gordon.
