Ted Quinlan has put out this media relelase on accepting a cheque for $6.3mil for City West to be used by NICTA. The aim is to turn west Civic into a Smart Zone (like a Justice Zone but different) with business, the ANU and Govt all working together closely (geographically).

How long will it be before they move out to the airport?

The cynic in me says it’s all part of the grand plan to trash CSIRO by making them part of the ANU. Then NICTA can take over CSIRO’s buildings.

Not that likely. If they were allowed to, NICTA would probably build their headquaters on the ANU campus, but they are prevented from doing this by the legislation that established the ANU. The best they can is to build it as close to ANU as possible. This is becasue most of the current NICTA research stems from previous ANU research programs.
