University Funded Minor Works
In August each year, Faculties/Sections are requested to submit applications for University funded minor works projects. It is the responsibility of the Minor Works and Major Equipment Committee to review and recommend successful applications for funding.
The range of projects can vary widely in scope and value and includes minor works:
-
to improve working conditions for current staff and students;
-
cater for changes to enrolments or teaching programs;
-
refurbish special purpose laboratories; or
-
address occupational health and safety issues.
All Faculty/Section funded minor works projects are coordinated and implemented through the Planning and Space Section to ensure maximum value for money whilst maintaining statutory compliance and a consistent University standard.
The Planning and Space Section will collaboratively determine the most appropriate project delivery mode along with budget and program goals.
