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 />
