The UNSW Canberra City campus will be located on the corner of Coranderrk Street and Constitution Avenue and the existing car park site across Constitution Avenue.

The expansion of UNSW in Canberra will strengthen the City’s reputation as the knowledge and education capital of Australia and will complement the UNSW’s existing ADFA campus.

UNSW Canberra City will be a landmark on Canberra’s research and innovation corridor where universities, industry and government can come together to discover and drive global change. The City campus site will help reimagine the east of Canberra’s CBD by developing a new city corner that will rejuvenate and transform Canberra for the community.

The new City campus will be built in stages to accommodate growth as it occurs and the first step is to develop a campus master plan. The planning stages are outlined in the image below and we are seeking community input to inform the master plan.
