JCU Townsville Redevelopment

The Discovery Rise project was announced in September 2007. The $1 billion project is aimed at completely redeveloping the University campus (or, "The Estate"), faculties and attracting more students to JCU. Initial stages of planning and design are currently under way and the project is estimated to be finished in 2015. Included in the project will be major upgrading of student facilities, creation of extra on-campus residential housing, commercial site-leasing, a student village and upgrading of sports facilities.
