Defence and Maritime Innovation and Design Precinct

The relocation of the University of Tasmania’s Launceston campus from Newnham to Inveresk provides a unique opportunity to leverage from the expertise and facilities of the Australian Maritime College (AMC).

Work is now progressing to establish a $30 million Defence and Maritime Innovation and Design Precinct at the AMC. This exciting project brings together industry, research, education and training to address the critical needs of Australia’s naval and land defence and will create hundreds of opportunities and for Tasmanians.

Launceston has long been considered a hub of excellence in maritime engineering and innovation and this development will help preserve the AMC’s role as our national maritime institute.
