3. Strategic Asset Management Framework

4. Campus Plan 2010 • Ensure there is sufficient land and buildings to accommodate University’s growth (i.e. enrolment of 25,000 students by 2020). • Place the University to the best advantage to meet external, often unforeseeable situations. • Planning for the expansion of the campus in a westerly direction to Broadway. • Operating from Campus Plan 2000. • VC’s Steering Committee to commence in September 2009 to guide development of the Campus Plan. • Estimated completion: April 2010.

5. AK Reserve/ UWA Sports Park Master Plan and CSIRO • Create a sporting precinct of regional, national and international significance. • Development at the precinct is progressing with a new Athletics Stadium completed in July 2009 and a Basketball Stadium to be completed in November 2009. • Increasing Research presence of UWA at CSIRO and at Sports Park.

6. QEII/ Fiona Stanley Hospital sites • The University is a key partner in the funding of major research facilities at these metropolitan hospital campuses, including: • A projected $100m facility at QEII; and • A projected $70m facility at Fiona Stanley Hospital.

7. Sustainability UWA Transport Plan • Address transport issues at the University in the context of: • limited car-parking supply - cap with State Planning: 4250 parking bays. • Requirements for significant increases in provision of non-automobile transport modes (buses, bikes, walking, scooters etc.) - Campus Loop Bus Service. • Draft Transport Plan which has been revised in 2009 in the context of the Campus Plan 2010.

8. Sustainability UWA Landscape Master Plan 2007-2011 • Conserve, enhance and renew landscapes to ensure a consistent quality across all University sites. • Master Plan was completed in 2006 and is still current. • Revised in 2009 in the context of the Campus Plan 2010. • Including accommodating the Conservation Plan.

11. Campus and Accommodation Planning • The University recognises the likely significant growth in student numbers, research activities and support staff over the next decade (e.g. enrolment target of 25,000 students by 2020. • The UWA Capital Works Program to accommodate planned growth (2007-2017) prepared by the Office of Finance and Resources anticipated a major expenditure in the order of $500million. The current growth and the size of the capital works program justified the investigation of opportunities for associated savings. • A UWA Accommodation Efficiency Audit was proposed in response to the growth and a final draft is under review with the view to discuss with key University stakeholders the implementation of the audits recommendations. • Some planned outcomes of the Audit were – • to identify opportunities to locate some growth within existing UWA campus sites, rather than expanding to additional land and/or buildings therefore reducing the University’s operational costs and contributing to a more sustainable campus management • to review current building use to enhance space utilisation • to examine the provision of shaping spaces for innovation, creating a variety of learning settings, both individual and collaborative, formal and informal.
