Not only does the Fund support members in the print, media, entertainment and arts industries. We are also helping bring entertainment to the big screen and into all our members’ homes.
In partnership with Fulcrum Media Finance, the Fund provides access to pre-sale advance loans for film and TV productions across Australia and New Zealand.
Originally launched as a $30 million revolving loan in 2010, the investment was doubled to $60 million in 2015 to meet funding demand. Since its launch, this initiative has loaned more than $275 million to help finance the development of more than 300 high-quality films and TV shows, providing Australian actors, filmmakers and crew continued opportunities to ply their craft here on home turf.
Some of the productions supported over the years include The Dressmaker, Lion, Top End Wedding, Breath, Last Cab to Darwin, Sweet Country, Upper Middle Bogan, Rake, Top of the Lake, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Cleverman, and Struggle Street, as well as a host of children's programming.
Changing Adelaide’s skyline
With construction well underway, the partnership between Cbus Property# and the South Australian Government to deliver a new $300 million office building development in the heart of the Adelaide CBD is on track.
Located at 83 Pirie Street, the 20-storey complex will set a new benchmark for office developments in South Australia, catering to the ever-changing needs of today’s tenants with truly best-in-class amenity. The major tenant will be South Australia’s Department of Infrastructure and Transport (DIT).
The complex is Cbus Property’s first net-zero carbon-designed development, targeting world-leading performance in sustainable design and delivery of commercial buildings. In addition to a recently awarded 6 Star Green Star Design Review rating, the 83 Pirie Street commercial office is designed to achieve a 5.5 Star NABERS Energy rating and will use no natural gas.
With the building structure completed and internal fit-out works progressing, Cbus Property looks forward to building handover and occupation, anticipated to take place in Q3 2022.
