Campus developments
View
It’s an exciting time of transformation at Monash University, with a number of major developments completed or underway. These developments form part of our Monash Masterplan to create a vibrant, inclusive and engaging campus experience for all students, staff and visitors.
Some of these projects will have impacts on Monash University Accommodation due to proximity and other factors. These projects and their impact on the residential community are outlined by campus below.
Clayton campus developments
-
The Monash Station, to be located at the corner of Normanby and Howleys roads, will provide greater connectivity and access for students, staff, industry, government and visitors to the Clayton campus and Monash Technology Precinct.
The Monash Station will encourage connection and collaboration, attracting world class talent to live, work, study and visit the Clayton campus and surrounding Precinct.What works are planned?
Construction will be completed in stages and is expected to take approximately seven years. Disruption at surface level is expected to be shorter than the overall construction time.
Main works will begin in 2025 and will involve boring two twin tunnels under Clayton campus, excavation of the station box and construction of the station, including constructing above-ground structures, road and path upgrades and landscaping.Trains will be running by 2035.
The Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) will continue to provide detailed information on upcoming works to Monash University, which will be distributed to relevant students and staff.
Please see the Monash University SRLA works updates webpage for the latest information and impacts
Will I still be able to park in the resident parking adjacent to Roberts and Richardson Halls?
Yes, the Residential Car Park (RC6) will still be available for residents with valid vPermits. Access and the number of parking spots available may be temporarily disrupted during SRL works.
Will construction noise disturb my studies?
To mitigate the potential impacts of future works at the SRL site, Monash University Accommodation hall upgrades will occur from the end of 2024 and Monash University Accommodation will communicate with residents well in advance of any scheduled works. To minimise disruptions for residents, our aim is to schedule enhancements during times when the halls are unoccupied, where possible.
The SRLA and its contractors continue to work with the University to minimise any noise impacts from the works. Contractors must develop and adhere to a Construction Environmental Management Plan to control the impacts of construction, including noise, dust, vibration and traffic.
