The plan for its long awaited new campus in Canberra is announced (just not the detail)

The university will build a city-fringe campus in Canberra, with the ACT Government providing the land. The campus created will accommodate 6000 students. Which is way fewer than the 10 000 mentioned when the plan was first floated, back in 2017 (CMM August 17 2018).

As to detail on the new deal, who knows? In January, somebody FOId the territory government for the October 2018 proposal and was knocked back.  But yesterday ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr called it a “worthy and essential investment.”

And what will occur on campus? Sorry, we will have to wait for that as well. “I look forward to having many announcements over the coming years about the growth of our campus,” UNSW Canberra’s rector, Michael Frater said yesterday.
