A $15M La Trobe University redevelopment project with a $5M injection of federal funding
REAFFIRMING its commitment to regional education, La Trobe University is continuing to invest a substantial amount in infrastructure upgrades. Part of a program to expand and improve regional campuses, La Trobe University will finish Stage One of the major renovation project at Shepparton Campus in October. Managed by Crow Constructions, Stage Two of the project is soon to commence, advancing the university’s mission to create world-class facilities in the region.
The revitalised campus will include an expanded clinical nursing laboratory, upgraded teaching rooms, and a new library featuring both formal and informal study areas. Additionally, a dedicated space for Indigenous students will be created, a courtyard featuring Indigenous landscaping, and a community event space. This new area will not only offer versatility for hosting events but illustrates the university’s commitment to our diverse community.


While the renovation is underway in 2024, the operations of the campus continue to be temporarily spread across three locations: the ground floor of the main campus, teaching spaces at GOTAFE’s Fryers Street campus, and a temporary Nursing Hub on Corio Street. It’s business as usual for current students with staff working hard to continuously provide a positive educational experience.
Extending gratitude to GOTAFE for their generous support in accommodating classes during the university’s expansion and redevelopment, La Trobe Shepparton campus is excited and looking forward to moving into the upgraded facilities early next year, the perfect gift to mark the anniversary of 30 years in Shepparton.
