Australia - State Automation first arrived at Sydney Opera House in the mid 1980s, where it made its first lighting dimmer installation in the Concert Hall, Opera Theatre, Drama Theatre and Playhouse venues. Since then, the company has been the on-site contractor providing support for the stage lighting and automation systems as well as managing the external lighting.

Recently, the company was awarded a 5-10 year contract for the maintenance of stage automation, lighting and stage machinery effective from August 2007. A service team of12 personnel and technicians headed up by the service director, Stuart Cornell, has been put in place to work full time at Sydney Opera House.

This team is responsible for the smooth operation of the lighting automation and stage machinery equipment and is available for support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
