The new Central Coast Campus under construction in Gosford has achieved significant milestones throughout 2024.

During the year, the project saw the demolition of the old Mitre 10 site, completion of bulk excavation and ground floor slabs, finishing structural first-floor slab and lift/fire stair cores to roof level, and the start of timber installation.

Next year, the project team will be busy with the next phases of the project, including façade & roof installation, upgrading nearby power infrastructure for site connection, installing building plumbing and electrical services, building internal walls and ceilings, landscaping, and completing final finishes and checks.

The $67 million Central Coast Campus project is jointly funded by the Australian Government, NSW Government, and the University of Newcastle.
