Echo Entertainment announced that it plans to move its headquarters from Sydney to Brisbane if it wins a casino license. Echo CEO Matt Bekier told the Courier Mail that moving to Brisbane would make a lot of sense since the majority of its operations would be in Queensland.
“If we’re successful at Queen’s Wharf, over 10,000 jobs will be in Queensland and the bulk of our economic activity will shift to Queensland,” Bekier said.
But before Echo Entertainment can pack its bags and make moving plans to Brisbane, the company has to impress the Queensland government to choose its proposal over Crown’s, which might take a lot more work after Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk raised some issues about the project that she wanted to look into.
“My government is committed to seeing the re-development of that site,” Palaszczuk said. “However, I do have some issues that I’ve raised with the department and I want them to investigate those issues first before I make further comment.”
