PLANNING CHALLENGES

• continuing uncertainty regarding government funding, particularly in relation to support for graduate growth and capital to provide space to accommodate that growth

• planning for implementation of fees structure under new government framework

• competition for excellent faculty and students

• restructuring issues

• accommodation of needs of the full range of students, including part-time and mature students

• implications of voluntary retirement for complement planning
