Incentives provided to Fujitsu in relation to accommodation are associated with discounted rental of the refurbished level 4 of the Moore Street Building and the Callam Offices where Fujitsu are now operating the Help Desk and Call Centre Operation, referred to as the Enterprise Management Centre (EMC). The Moore Street site is being used as a backup site.

Fujitsu receive rental assistance on Moore Street and Callam which sees the rental going from rent free to converging on or above market terms by December 2001. It is estimated that the rent free period to date has provided assistance to the value of $0.761m.
