Economic and Social Contribution of the University of Notre Dame to the City of Fremantle

The University of Notre Dame is a national Catholic University, with a city-based campus located in the City of Fremantle, as well as in the North-West town of Broome and the Sydney CBD. The university has 12,000 students enrolled across a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, primarily at its Fremantle campus.

ACIL Allen was engaged by the University to estimate the economic and social contribution of the University to the City of Fremantle. To do this we conducted economic contribution modelling to estimate the direct and indirect impact of the University on the City of Fremantle’s economy; and social contribution modelling to quantify the broader social impacts of the University that cannot be quantified through an economic modelling framework.
