I am advised that the Office of Public Works (OPW) is assessing the redevelopment potential for the entire GPO complex, this includes the GPO Arcade.

As part of its assessment, the OPW is also developing outline scoping proposals for a wide-ranging public consultation process, as committed to by Government. The public consultation process will be appropriate to the significance, nature and scale of this nationally important redevelopment project.

It is anticipated that the redevelopment project will include significant public-use elements throughout the complex. Final proposals for future uses are subject to the consideration of the outcomes from the public consultation process and the Public Spending Code/Infrastructure Guidelines. The project will be funded under the National Development Plan (current and future).
