Infrastructure Projects Reshape How Bundoora Residents Travel Daily
Dozens of projects are affecting how people move around the suburb and access services.
How we reported this
Bundoora has 52 identified infrastructure projects impacting the area. This level of activity places the suburb in the top 10% nationally for nearby infrastructure work.
Transport Links and Bus Services
The M80 Ring Road Completion forms part of the project list. Dysons has broken ground on a depot electrification project at its Bundoora site. The facility will house up to 188 electric buses, with completion staged through late 2026. Residents who rely on bus routes stand to see changes in fleet operations once the zero-emissions conversion finishes.
Employment and Mixed-Use Development
MAB Corporation is delivering the University Hill mixed-use development. The staged project carries a $1 billion value and is expected to generate over 3,500 jobs. People living near the northern corridor may encounter new work options and additional retail or service outlets as stages open over the coming decade.
Campus Transformation and Housing Supply
La Trobe University is executing a $5 billion plan to turn its Bundoora campus into a University City of the Future. The work includes a new research precinct and residential spaces. Polaris 3083 is under construction on the former Larundel Hospital site. The $500 million residential and retail hub will deliver over 1,100 dwellings next to the university. Local households may notice shifts in housing availability and campus-related activity as these elements progress.
Details on exact sequencing for each project appear in public records tied to the listed developments. Residents can track updates through the organisations involved, such as the companies and institutions named in project announcements. Further stages will determine how quickly changes reach individual streets and services.
