The laboratory is be located 1024 m underground (~2900 m water equivalent) within the Stawell Gold Mine and construction will be completed in May 2022. The laboratory will house rare event physics searches, including the upcoming SABRE dark matter experiment, as well as measurement facilities to support low background physics experiments and applications such as radiobiology and quantum computing. This talk will present the an overview of the SUPL design and current status, measurements of the laboratory background environment, and aspects of the SABRE construction.
