Horrors in Hobart, likes in Launceston

U Tas management will be braced for more of a walloping as the Legislative Council committee inquiry into uni governance continues today and tomorrow

It follows years of criticism of the university’s building programme in Hobart’s CBD.

So praise for development at the Inveresk Campus (in Launceston) might make a change.  A major building is set to open in April and there was a preview last week, with federal and state ministers agreeing that it was all good-o.

Launceston Mayor Danny Gibson was particularly pleased, “the ultimate relocation of the campus to Inveresk will provide an opportunity for Launceston to become a true university city.”
