"Uni
ON CHECKING Macquarie and World Book dictionaries I find it is an institute of higher learning, this includes its buildings, students, teachers, governing body.
Nowhere could I find any mention of helping to improve the bottom line in the city’s business sector by providing student shoppers.
Nor could I find a mention of a possible 15,000 students plus teachers wading through sewage in order to attend lectures.
Higher learning and the Newnham campus seems to be a match made in heaven as Newnham is considerably higher than Inveresk.
Conclusion - leave Newnham campus where it is.
My understanding is that the EPA is having a conversation with both Launceston City Council and TasWater.

NOTE: It is becoming much clearer that the constraints of the Inveresk site – quite aside from the issue of 'gifting' public land anywhere to anyone – is where the folly in all this is to be found. IF this site was appropriate a collaborative cost effective way forward could be found once it was looked for. However, it's unlikely that the Federal Government can actually be persuaded to give public money to such a risky project on the current evidence before it – even in an election year.
