Campus master planning

Campus master planning helps guide how we plan, design and shape our university campuses, spaces and buildings for the future. This process benefits not only our students and staff but also our local communities.

To ensure our campuses are vibrant, fit for purpose and aligned to the vision of the Charles Sturt University Strategy 2030, in the next 3 years, we'll develop Campus Master Plans for Wagga Wagga and Bathurst that:

  • Match our goals: We want our campuses to be lively and just right for their purpose.
  • Guide future planning: This will help us decide how we build new facilities, fix what's already there, and decide when it's time to let go of others.
  • Help everyone: The campus master plans will lead to changes that benefit all of us at the University and those in our wider community.
  • Share our story: They will support our efforts to get people excited about what we're doing, connect with the community, build partnerships, and share our ambitions.

Project pillars

As our campuses serve multiple functions beyond learning, this project was guided by four pillars to achieve a cohesive end goal:

  • A Place of Country: Emphasises First Nations connections, cultural diversity, inclusiveness, and environmental sustainability.
  • A Place for Education: Focuses on student and staff experience, innovative teaching models, future-ready campuses, and specialised courses.
  • A Place for Research: Targets partnerships, industry engagement, workspace optimisation, digital connectivity, and financial goals.
  • A Place for Community: Includes residential and commercial aspects, student enrolment and accommodation, community engagement, and regional development.
