Over the past two months the University has been consulting with our neighbours and other key stakeholders, as part of a review of our plans for a new building to house the University’s Business School at the Abercrombie Precinct in Darlington.
The University has committed to addressing concerns about the initial proposal to ensure we produce a more integrated facility that respects the local character of the streetscape. To date, feedback from stakeholders and the community has focused on reducing the overall bulk and scale of the original proposal.
Feedback from our recent consultation has also identified other items that the community would like to see taken into consideration when preparing our revised plans for the site. These include:
The University’s design team are close to finalising the revised plan, which is expected to be submitted to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure towards the end February 2012.
Before submitting the revised plan, the University welcomes your input. As a valued neighbour, I invite you to a community information session. This session will include an update on our plans and give you an opportunity to provide your feedback, to help ensure we get this precinct right for the
future.
We look forward to seeing you at the workshop.
If you can't make it to the markets, project information and a model will be on display in the foyer of the University’s Services Building, 22 Codrington Street, from Monday 20 February until Tuesday 20 March. The foyer is accessible between 8:30am and 4:30pm Monday to Friday.
The new plans for the proposed Business School will be submitted to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure toward the end of February. The submission process includes a formal public exhibition period.
The University is committed to producing the best possible outcome for future users of the space, including our neighbours.

PLANNING DAY
The Factory Community Centre has a 30 year history of engaging artists in community development projects.
In October 2012, along with our partners we will host the 12th World Festival of Children’s Theatre. Kids from all over the world will come to Australia to perform together, do workshops together and most... importantly make best friends for life.
And where will this happen?
- At Cockatoo Island, in the middle of Sydney Harbour...sleeping in tents, under the southern sky.
This is the dream...
So, if you are a community artist, local businessman, director, writer, performer, financier, critic, manager, musician, dancer, fundraiser, youth leader... young or young at heart... and would like to help make this dream become a reality, join us for a day of brainstorming, sharing ideas, workshoping and planning as we make our dream ... a festival like no other.
When: Saturday 20th November 2010 Time: 9 am – 2 pm
