11:30 AM The Planning Process: How Can Student Accommodation Providers and Governments Co-Work to Develop Stronger Living Spaces

Charles Darwin University and the Northern Territory Government have recently committed a new Partnership Agreement, which aims to see the delivery of new student benefits for the territory. This partnership would, in part, see the relocation of academic activities to the Darwin City CBD, including the university’s student accommodation. 

Mick Serena and Meredith Parry will present a joint case study on the work currently taking place within this project, and ways to integrate government and university initiatives to improve student accommodation.

  • Understand how the possible relocation of student accommodation to Darwin City CBD would result in stronger academic results
  • Employing an integrated solution for student accommodation providers to improve government and student outcomes
  • Illustrate how student accommodation is integral to creating a sense of place, increasing density and making the city campus more active
