Next Generation Resources Park
Due to open in 2027, the Next Generation Resources Park (NextGen Park) will operate as a premier University based Industrial Hub, bridging the gap between industry, research and education. The precinct will enable an integrated ecosystem, including:
- Purpose-built infrastructure for an accelerated pipeline of transformational skills and technologies,
- Tools and opportunities to de-risk and accelerate technology into critical and emerging sectors,
- Collaborative strategic education pathways to train and accredit the region’s diversifying workforce, and
- High impact partnerships, enabling pathways, and access to regional networks and initiatives.
