La Trobe partners with developer Plenary on $5 billion University City of the Future
With ambitious aspirations to transform Melbourne’s north, La Trobe University has agreed to partner with developer Plenary to build its $5 billion University City of the Future Plan project.
Refreshing original plans to revive the university's 235-hectare Bundoora campus, the project is expected to create more than 20,000 new jobs and include education facilities for 40,000-plus students, as well as generating 3,000 jobs per annum in construction.
Planners forecast the development will bring in $3.5 billion to the local economy over 10 years.
The master development partner agreement rekindles the university's relationship with Plenary, which delivered La Trobe’s $288 million AgriBio, Centre for AgriBioscience development in 2013.
