The meeting approved the setting up of a radar research establishment to aid the World War 2 effort. It was given the cover designation of the CSIR Radiophysics Laboratory. The CSIR Radiophysics Laboratory was granted divisional status in May 1940. Once the war ended the division turned its attention to two main areas: radio astronomy and cloud physics. From 1946 to 1954 scientists and engineers from the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics built a range of radio telescopes at Dover Heights. This then led on to the development of the Parkes telescope, completed in 1961, and the Australian Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) opened in 1988 ... In 1996 the Division of Radiophysics merged with the Division of Applied Physics to form the Division of Telecommunication and Industrial Physics, which continued to operate until the middle of 2003 when the Information and Communication Technology Centre (ICT Centre) was created) - https://csiropedia.csiro.au/astronomy-and-space-science-2009/
