From this date, construction activity will begin in and around Car Park 7 and is expected to continue through to the end of 2026. [View fenced construction zones around Car Park 7]

• Site establishment: Fencing will be installed around the eastern portion of Car Park 7 to secure the construction zone and prepare for upcoming works.

• Demolition of Building 492: This will clear the way for the new Harry Butler Science Centre, making space for innovation and infrastructure.

• Construction traffic: Expect increased vehicle movement in the area, especially during the initial setup phase. 

• Parking adjustments: Car Park 7 will have reduced capacity. We recommend using Car Parks 1–3, which will remain open and accessible throughout the construction period.

• Pedestrian access: Discovery Way will remain open. No road closures are currently planned. The bus stop and footpath along Discovery Way will stay operational for safe pedestrian movement.

• Noise levels: Some noise is expected during site setup and demolition. We’ll do our best to minimise disruption and keep you informed of any major changes.

• Visual changes: Temporary fencing, signage, and construction equipment will be visible in the area. 

We understand these works may cause some inconvenience and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we bring this exciting project to life. The Harry Butler Science Centre will be a landmark addition to our campus, and your support helps make it possible.

The new Harry Butler Science Centre will be located south of Discovery Way, occupying part of the current bushland and extending the academic core from Boola Katitjin toward the wetlands. The site will feature a series of pavilion-style buildings and landscaped connections that integrate with the surrounding ecological systems.

The interface with Discovery Way is a key focus, with upgrades planned to improve accessibility and pedestrian flow. Follow the transformation.
