The seven sites were not funded as FaCSIA felt that some sites did not attract a strong field of applicants, either because of the postcode boundaries or infrastructure requirements of round one. These sites may be re-advertised in future funding rounds with adjusted postcodes and with the support of the COAG Working Groups.
