Currently broadcasting out of rented studios in Easey Street, Collingwood, which it has occupied for 16 years, community radio station PBS 106.7FM will take up tenancy at Collingwood Arts Precinct within the next two years.

The station has signed a long-term lease for at least two decades, meaning it will broadcast out of the former Collingwood TAFE site, located behind live music venue The Tote and next door to Circus Oz.
