New student accommodation options are being explored by Charles Sturt University (CSU) for its new campus in Port Macquarie. Earlier this month on the NSW Mid-North Coast, CSU Vice-Chancellor, Professor Andrew Vann, unveiled the designs for the initial stage of a permanent campus due to open in Port Macquarie in February 2016.

The process remains open until Thursday 17 April. Further information is available under 'Port Macquarie - Student Residences' here. Director of the University's Residence Life, Mr David Griffin, said, "Charles Sturt University recognises a need for the development of a significant volume of student accommodation within Port Macquarie to support the development of the new permanent campus. With projected student enrolment in excess of 3 000 by 2030 there will be a need for a range of accommodation options for students within Port Macquarie and surrounding areas." In 2014, CSU opened new and renovated undergraduate and postgraduate student accommodation across its footprint including in Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Orange, and Wagga Wagga.
