New works can be small or large sized project type requests. While the University funds some new works, known as centrally funded, others may be chargeable.
Small project requests
Examples of small sized works include installing a pin board, additional power points, building a bookshelf or requiring a new key cylinder.
Chargeable works include:
- Works for spaces which are leased are chargeable.
- Works for spaces for faculties and divisions that have been assessed as outside the centrally funded scope.
You must ensure the appropriate financial delegations (signing authority) for your area approve the cost for these works before you make the request, as an account code will be required.
Submit a new works (chargeable) request
Centrally funded works include:
Works for faculties and divisions that have been assessed as inside the centrally funded scope. An account code is not required. If you are unsure please use the Chargeable Request Type.

Large project requests
Request consideration for large sized new works (including investigations, costings, construction, renovations, or modifications of University facilities).
A new works request is used to register a project for assessment and triage by Infrastructure, Property and Precincts (IPP). The outcome of the request will be either:
- Triaged to proceed for further investigation. You will be contacted by an IPP team member within four weeks to provide further information, including the justification for the works.
- Triaged for re-assessment in 12 months. You will be requested to re-submit your request if works are still required.
Note: All requests will be assessed based on the availability of funds.
You will need to choose ‘Submit a new works request’, then log in with your Deakin username and password.
The new works request process is:
- A new works request is raised through the Work Request system
- The request is triaged
- For requests triaged to proceed to further investigations, IPP will be in contact with you (or a nominated person) to discuss the idea in more detail. Some key information that we will need is:
- Definition of the idea, drivers, benefits and risks of not proceeding.
- The priority of this idea in the context of other requests for works.
- IPP will then work with you to undertake a strategic and space assessment.
- Should the idea be prioritised, it will be registered on our project list and the idea triaged for approval and delivery.
