Transforming La Trobe: Building the University City of the Future

Nestled at the northern gateway of Melbourne, La Trobe University’s Bundoora campus is more than just an educational institution—it’s a beacon of opportunity and a hub of innovation. As we peer into the next decade, this special place is set to undergo a metamorphosis, emerging as a world-class University City of the Future.

Investing in Tomorrow Imagine a place where a $5 billion investment flows seamlessly from the hands of private industry leaders and government visionaries. This is the future of La Trobe, where the seeds of progress are sown today to harvest the fruits of prosperity tomorrow.

Job Creation on a Grand Scale With over 20,000 new jobs and an additional 3,000 construction roles blossoming annually, La Trobe’s transformation is a job-creating powerhouse. It’s a future where everyone has a role to play and every job is a stepping stone to greater heights.

A Home for Thousands Picture 40,000 students from diverse backgrounds converging on campus, each with dreams to chase and goals to achieve. La Trobe’s expansion is a commitment to accommodate every learner, every dreamer, and every future leader.

Economic Impact That Resonates The ripple effect of La Trobe’s growth is monumental, with a projected $3.5 billion Gross Regional Product (GRP)  over a decade. It’s an economic wave that lifts all boats, from local businesses to the broader regional community.

A Hub of Health, Sport, and Innovation At the heart of La Trobe’s vision lies a Health and Wellbeing Hub, a sanctuary for mind and body. A stone’s throw away, the Sports Park beckons athletes and fans alike, while the Research and Innovation Precinct stands as a testament to human ingenuity. And for those seeking a place to call home, new housing options await students, staff, and residents.

A Town Center for All The new town centre will be the vibrant core of La Trobe, offering commercial spaces, retail havens, and cultural experiences. It’s a place where the community can gather, connect, and thrive.

As La Trobe University strides boldly into the future, it extends an open invitation to all: come and be a part of a living, breathing university city where you can live, learn, work, socialize, and stay healthy. Join us on this journey to build not just a campus, but a community—a University City of the Future.
