Summary:
- UNSW is preparing two State Significant Development Applications for its Kensington campus, proposing a student accommodation redevelopment and a parking station upgrade to support a growing student population and improve campus infrastructure.
- The student accommodation project will deliver approximately 711 new beds in three buildings, featuring residential colleges, self-contained apartments, and communal spaces, targeting 5 Star Green Star and WELL Gold sustainability ratings.
- The parking station upgrade will add around 1,400 car spaces and 130 bicycle spaces across eight levels, incorporating energy-efficient features, EV charging, and a new signalised intersection to enhance safety and reduce local traffic congestion.
