The University of Tasmania will be able to sell land from its Sandy Bay campus after a bill passes through state parliament. The sale, valued at $100 million, will partially fund a proposed $500 million STEM facility. The University of Tasmania (Protection of Land) Bill 2025 was supported by eight members of the upper house, the Legislative Council. The bill allows the sale of rezoned land on the university's 'upper campus' above Churchill Avenue. The university plans to restart discussions with the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania to hand back bushland. The STEM facility will also require state or federal funding, which the university is yet to secure.
