To promote economic wellbeing 3
To promote urban efficiency
To enhance connectivity
To promote social inclusion

Building Requirements

The following enclosed areas are suggested:
Food research/food processing 3,000 m2
Tertiary education science hub 10,000 m2
Residential 80 short term residential units

These functional areas (which will be over numerous levels) are to form the basis of the design. However other complementary uses may be included should they form a part of your design strategy. The actual areas (m2) are a guide only.


It is important that the design engages with the heritage building both in context and function (no matter how indirectly)
