Whitby Falls Site Visit

Acting Vice Chancellor, Professor Andrew Taggart, would like to invite all staff to visit Whitby Falls Farm on Friday 31 October.

Come along and enjoy a leisurely bus ride down to Murdoch’s Whitby Falls and see what’s happening down on the farm. Bus departs from Murdoch Chancellery (Car Park 3) at 2.30 p.m. sharp.

On reaching Whitby Falls, there will be a tour of the farm to view the exciting developments. At the conclusion, light refreshments will be served before departing.

In November 2013, Murdoch University entered into a 42-year lease with the National Trust of Western Australia for the 203 hectare heritage listed property at Whitby Falls Farm.

Works to the value of $3 million are underway to ensure the heritage values of the farm are protected and to restore the property as an operational working farm. The working farm is the first stage and will support future development for onsite teaching and research facilities initially for the School of Veterinary and Life Sciences and then for multi-purpose university facilities that will provide teaching and research opportunities for a broad range of courses.
