PROJECT IN THE SPOTLIGHT
BRINGING ENERGY AND VIBRANCY INTO ECU’S NEW CITY CAMPUS PROJECT Located in Perth’s CBD, ECU City is the centrepiece of the Perth City Deal, a collaboration between the Australian Government, Western Australian Government, and City of Perth. The Perth City Deal is a $1.5 billion partnership to deliver economic stimulus, jobs and liveability outcomes for the Perth CBD.

The new city campus will be the iconic built form stage for ECU’s wider whole of institution, multi-dimensional program of change called the University of the Future program. This five-year transformational agenda will challenge and redefine ECU’s ambition, positioning, delivery, and leadership role in Western Australia and the broader international higher education market. ECU sees this as a once in a generation confluence of vision, credentials, location, and ambition. The challenge for the project team at this early stage has been to connect the corporate, program and project visions to a workable scope that links economic, social, and technical sustainability themes.
