Comprehensive Master Planning Process and Implementation
Prior to any future development within the QEIIMC campus, it is imperative to explore and implement a variety of strategies as outlined in the Masterplan. This thorough approach is necessary to guarantee that the long-term vision for the campus, spanning 50 years, is carefully crafted with an understanding of the significant factors and consequences involved.
The QEIIMC campus development necessitates the identification of crucial triggers, as outlined in section 9 of the Report and the Phase 3 Implementation Strategy Report. These triggers include the augmentation of built form and population on the campus, addressing areas with inadequate services, and upgrading already well-serviced areas for future development.
