Alumni House

At the site where the proposed Alumni House building will reside, there have been investigations over the last 12 months in consultation with Subsidence Advisory NSW (SANSW) to assess the site and its surrounding locality.

Like much of the Newcastle region, the site has been subject to past mining activities; as such, it was identified that there was a need to undertake mine grouting work to prepare the site for future development.

SANSW and the City of Newcastle (Council) provided consent to proceed with the works, and mine grouting commenced in July 2023 and is expected to finish in early 2024.
