The Daily Examiner, 10 December 2018, p.4:
After more than two years without a tenant one of
Grafton’s largest retail outlets has a new tenant.
The store at 51 Prince
St, formerly tenanted by failed electronics retailer Dick Smith, has been
leased to the Australian Electoral Commission to be used as a vote counting
centre in the upcoming state and federal elections.
The commercial manager
at Ford and Dougherty Natasha Watkinson, said the lease was for just six
months, but would be a welcome change to the main street after being so long
without a tenant.
She said the owner has
given the building a new coat of paint to cover up the previous tenant’s
corporate colours.
She said people would
not notice a lot of change because of the new tenant.
“Because of legislation
the AEC has to block the windows so people cannot see inside,” she said.
“The building is going
to be used for vote counting, so there won’t be access for the public.
“For the whole period of
the lease it’s probably going to look like the tenant is preparing to move in
and fit out.”
