New premises<br />
The growth of the resources sector and a corresponding<br />
growth within the South Australian Chamber of Mines<br />
and Energy meant the organisation outgrew its previous<br />
site. <strong>SACOME</strong> began 20<strong>08</strong> in new, larger premises on Glen<br />
Osmond Road Fullarton. Mines and Energy House is a larger,<br />
contemporary style office that symbolises a new stage for<br />
<strong>SACOME</strong> and its increasing role in serving the resources<br />
industry. The refurbished office accommodates the growing<br />
<strong>SACOME</strong> team and allows <strong>SACOME</strong> to host an increasing<br />
number and variety of events for its members. The finishing<br />
touch to the offices is an art exhibition of industrial landscapes<br />
by South Australian artist, Robert Habel. The Minister for<br />
Mineral Resources Development, the Honourable Paul<br />
Holloway officially opened Mines and Energy House at a<br />
special event for members, government representatives<br />
and industry leaders.<br />
Initially, known as the Chamber of Mines, the organisation<br />
was based within the offices of the Chamber of Commerce.<br />
The small office comprised a team of just two staff. There<br />
has been a steady growth since that time, with the Chamber<br />
of Mines adding Energy to its portfolio - and then during the<br />
following years, including service providers to the mining<br />
and energy sectors.<br />
