Barton offices renamed Edmund Barton in Canberra move
The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet plans to rename the Trade Group building in Barton as the Edmund Barton offices. The shift follows a move from the West Block complex due to fire safety concerns and aims to unify the department under a prestigious name. An interdepartmental committee seeks savings by recycling parts of the Trade Group complex, with potential use for Parliament House staff. Sir Edmund Barton served as Prime Minister from 1901 to 1903.
