  The 1.0 metre f/4 fast-slew Zadko Telescope was installed in June 2008
approximately seventy kilometres north of Perth at Yeal, in the Shire of
Gingin, Western Australia. Since the Zadko Telescope has been in operation it
has proven its worth by detecting numerous Gamma Ray Burst afterglows, two of
these being the most distant `optical transients' imaged by an Australian
telescope. Other projects include a contract with the European Space Agency
(ESA) to image potentially hazardous near Earth asteroids (2019), monitoring
space weather on nearby stars (2019), and photometry of a transit of Saturn's
moon Titan (2018). Another active Zadko Telescope project is tracking
Geo-stationary satellites and attempting to use photometry to classify various
space debris (defunct satellites). The Zadko Telescope's importance as a
potential tool for education, training, and public outreach cannot be
underestimated, as the global awareness of the importance of astronomy (and
space science) as a context for teaching science continues to increase. An
example of this was the national media coverage of its contribution to the
discovery of colliding neutron stars in 2017, capturing the imagination of the
public. In this proceeding, I will focus on the practical aspects of managing a
robotic Observatory, focusing on the sustainability of the Observatory and the
technical management involved in hosting different commercial projects. I will
review the evolution of the Observatory, from its early, single instrument,
state to its current multi-telescope and multi-instrument capabilities. I will
finish by outlining the future of the Observatory and the site.
