Melbourne is Australia's second most populous city with the official opening of the Collins Street office on Thursday night. With more than a hundred offices, half of the building is already occupied. Google plans to further develop the team and to welcome local community groups into the new space.

From only 4 people when Google Melbourne started a few years ago, today we have more than 50 employees to expand the team. We are growing because our partners – local businesses and community groups – are growing.

The office will house marketing, support, policy sales and cloud computing staff, according to The Urban Developer . However, the company's engineering center will remain in Sydney. This despite The Sydney Morning Herald noting that Google has struggled to find a second site closer to its headquarters.

Google's offices usually go to a city's surroundings, with workspaces called a graffiti wall. The auditorium "The G" presents a living plant wall. In the style of Google, the celebrations were launched by an order "OK ​​Google, open the office of Google Melbourne"

Made by Google products available in Australia include Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, Google Home and Home Mini , Google Wifi, Chromecast, Daydream and Pixel Buds.
