We undoubtedly have one of the most sought after business locations in Australia.
Lying adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, there is no other location in Australia that can boast being just 80km south of Sydney – Australia’s leading financial centre and Asia-Pacific headquarters for many global companies, and 250km from Canberra – Australia’s capital city and the centre of government relations.
Follow the M1 Southern Freeway south from Waterfall on Sydney’s southern outskirts. When the M1 reaches Wollongong, take the first Wollongong CBD Exit at Mt Ousley Road. Follow this road to the main roundabout at the Princes Highway and turn left. Turn right at the third set of traffic lights onto Elliotts Road and right again onto Squires Way. The Campus’ entrance is located on the right at the next set of traffic lights.
To access our Campus from the south of Wollongong, travel north along the M1 Freeway and take the North Wollongong exit. Turn right onto the Princes Hwy and continue to the North Wollongong Hotel, then turn left into Bourke Street. Turn left again at Virginia Street, go straight through the roundabout and turn left again onto George Hanley Drive. Turn left at the first set of traffic lights into the Innovation Campus.
The Gong Free Shuttle service operates on a loop that connects the Innovation Campus with UOW main campus, Wollongong Hospital, Wollongong railway station, the city centre, Fairy Meadow railway station and the TAFE Campus. Buses travel in both directions on the loop. On weekdays the service operates every 10 minutes between 7am and 6pm and every 20 minutes between 6pm and 10pm. On weekends the service operates every 20 minutes between 8am and 6pm.
Our tenants benefit from this strategic location as it is only one hour by road from Sydney’s International Airport and 2.5 hours to Canberra via a dedicated highway. Yet our region also provides other strategic, cost and lifestyle advantages compared to the business parks of north-western Sydney and commercial office space in Sydney’s CBD.
Wollongong is a picturesque coastal city of around 315,000 residents, with a string of beautiful surf beaches and a bushland backdrop of the Illawarra escarpment. The city offers a range of residential options, from pretty coastal villages to beachside apartments near the city centre, family homes in leafy suburbs and even rural acreages. Our real estate prices are lower than comparable properties in Sydney.
In addition to all of this, our Campus also offers superb global connectivity with the latest fibre-optic and broadband telecommunications technology providing fast, efficient and cost-effective connection to the business environment.
We collaborate with government, industry and the community to drive our outcome-orientated approach to research and development. These bodies form our multidisciplinary Ideas Network, which equips our tenants with actionable insights to drive local and global growth.
