Centralisation of the BOM
ABC are reporting that the BoM are planning to centralise forecasting into two centres, Melbourne and a Brisbane.
That should help with the accuracy of forecasting in the Top End during the wet season and winter in south west WA.

I remember over 30 years ago when the regional Met offices were closed and you couldn't get face to face met briefings. It was always much better to be able to speak to someone who knew the local vagaries of the weather. The weather forecasting has just been reduced to computer modelling and an app.

Since when did forecasters ever look out the window? Their task is to interpret observations (done by an entirely different group of people) and trends which come in from a multitude of locations. What difference does it make where the room they sit in is located to do that? Forecasters were not the ones at the regional airports doing briefings. They were all observers. They did have vast local knowledge of weather conditions, but they were not the ones formulating the TAFs or ARFORs.
