Edith Cowan University (ECU), together with the Commonwealth Government and Western Australian Government, has announced a $158 million funding boost to deliver the university’s new state-of-the-art inner-city campus.

ECU has committed an additional $60 million alongside $49 million from each Government, taking the value of the landmark project to $853 million ­– with the Australian Government investing a total of $294 million, the Western Australian Government $199 million, and ECU $360 million.
