Fifty-two projects are underway in the area as organisations deliver transport, education and housing initiatives.
How we reported this
Bundoora ranks in the top 10% nationally for infrastructure activity with 52 identified projects impacting the area, including the M80 Ring Road Completion and Bundoora Centre Expansion.
Transport and Bus Facility Upgrades
Dysons has broken ground on a major depot electrification project to convert its Bundoora site into one of Victoria's largest zero-emissions bus facilities, housing up to 188 electric buses with completion staged through late 2026. Seven new stations are proposed for the Suburban Rail Loop North line at Bundoora, alongside major transport upgrades like the North East Link and M80 Upgrade affecting the suburb.
Education and Campus Masterplan
La Trobe University is executing an ambitious $5 billion plan to transform its Bundoora campus into a University City of the Future, featuring a new research precinct and residential spaces. The plan includes a planned Suburban Rail Loop station and an $82 million Health Clinic opening by mid-2026.
Mixed-Use and Residential Developments
MAB Corporation is delivering a staged $1 billion mixed-use development named University Hill that will generate over 3,500 jobs and redefine living in Melbourne's northern corridor. A new $500 million residential and retail hub called Polaris 3083 is being built on the former Larundel Hospital site, delivering over 1,100 dwellings and a new town centre next to La Trobe University.
The scale of these projects shows how local services and decisions by organisations such as Dysons, MAB Corporation and La Trobe University are guiding infrastructure delivery in Bundoora. Details of project staging and timelines appear in area records that track the 52 initiatives.
Work on the listed projects continues according to the schedules already set by the organisations involved. Residents and businesses can monitor updates through the public records that list the specific developments and their current status.
