Canberra Uni gets green light for $1bn campus

5 Mar 15 Australia’s University of Canberra is able to go ahead with a AU$1bn (£510m) campus development after agreeing a new partnership with the state government.

The partnership with the Australian Capital Territory (ACT( government is intended to help  the university grow and develop.

The government will work with the university to help it diversify its operations, develop its campus and attract like-minded organisations to share its largely-undeveloped 120ha site. In turn, this is intended to help it become even more attractive to students and academics.

“This is all about creating jobs – jobs building campus developments, jobs working for new campus-based organisations and jobs in research and teaching,” said minister Andrew Barr. “It is about creating a smart workforce with the skills our economy needs.”
