A MAJOR new development that is set to almost double student accommodation at the Newcastle University’s Callaghan campus is one step closer to reality. The university has lodged a development application with Newcastle City Council for a residential village that will feature environmentally sensitive design.
The development application includes four multi-storey residential buildings to house 750 new student beds, and additional car parking for up to 400 vehicles.
INVESTMENT: Hundreds more students will be able to sleep on campus.
University vice-chancellor Professor Nicholas Saunders said the project would provide a significant boost to the region’s economy.
“The development of a dedicated residential precinct on the Callaghan campus will create up to 350 jobs during construction and inject more than $250 million into the Hunter economy,” he said. “We have reached an important milestone in the progress of this major infrastructure project that will deliver benefi ts to the region and, importantly, give our students much greater
choice in affordable accommodation and really enhance their experience at the university.” The new residential precinct is part of a $100 million university student support package, which includes refurbishment of existing accommodation.
The preferred site earmarked for redevelopment is on campus land alongside the existing Evatt House and Edwards Hall student accommodation.
Staged construction is scheduled to begin in
the fi rst quarter of 2012 with students moving in from 2014.

“The fi rst step involves microchipping at 12 weeks of age and the second is registering with the council at six months,” he said. “These two steps will help return your pet to you if it is lost, burt or stolen.” The council has written to owners of microchipped pets to remind them.
