Peninsula Residential Village's history

Living and learning has always been synonymous with the academic experience at Peninsula Campus. In 1960, when the then Frankston Teachers College that occupied the site was in its infancy, a new student hostel was constructed.
This modern building was prominently located at the front entrance to the Campus grounds, adjacent to the new central teaching building. This allowed residents to almost tumble out of bed into their classrooms.
The three level, double winged building, became home to 120 of the education students undertaking their teacher training. In 1960, 80 females and 40 males enjoyed the seaside ambience, and combined their academic learning with many extracurricular activities in art, drama, sport and travel.
Once established, there was an even mix of male and female residents, segregated in the two wings. A live-in Supervisor and Security Supervisor ensured that no one crossed between the divide, and that all fraternisation occurred in the common rooms below.
The residence was self managed, with a large kitchen preparing all meals during the week, and catering staff doubling as cleaners.
Small kitchenettes were provided on the upper floors to assist with weekend meal preparation.
Due to the popularity of the teacher training course, and the opportunity to live close to the picturesque Mornington Peninsula, the rooms always filled quickly.
As the campus transitioned from the Frankston Teachers College to State College of Victoria (1974), to Chisholm Institute of TAFE (1983), and the Monash University Peninsula Campus (1990), the student hostel continued to host rural and interstate students keen to undertake the education, business, science, arts, art and design, nursing and information technology courses.
With the growing internationalisation of the Peninsula Campus through its business and network computing courses, the relocation of the main entrance to the Campus, the reality of its aging buildings, and the need to use the prime location for another purpose, the decision was made in 1994 to demolish the student hostel building.
In 1998 the new state-of-the-art Library building took its place to welcome students grandly to the Campus.
To fill the ongoing need for student accommodation, smaller houses and units were constructed or acquired through the period 1996 to 2010 bringing the current bed stock close to the original 120 beds. The newer accommodation provided a more strategic and mature approach to student accommodation through the integration with Monash Residential Services in 2000.
This type of accommodation perfectly suits the community lifestyle that students of the Campus aspire to whilst undertaking studies in nursing, education, paramedics, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and business. Demand for the accommodation service, including exemplary resident support, engagement and development always exceeds demand.
Sixty years on, the quest to maximise the opportunity to live and learn at the Peninsula Campus continues, as domestic and international students enhance their academic studies with full engagement with the Monash University experience.

Gillies Hall History
Doctor Maxwell Irvine Gillies AM
Born 16 November 1941
Gillies Hall is named in honour and recognition of Doctor Max Gillies AM
Dr Max Gillies AM is an iconic Australian satirist, actor and director with over five decades of theatre, television and film experience. A Monash alumnus, Dr Gillies is known as a mentor to young actors and performers at Monash University.
Dr Gillies is best known for satirical impressions of well-known political figures, writers and television personalities since 1970. A prime time figure on the ABC television network, he featured in popular television series ‘The Gillies Report’ (1984–85), ‘Gillies Republic’ (1986) and ‘Gillies and Company’ (1992). He is renowned for his characterisations of former Australian prime ministers Bob Hawke and Robert Menzies, Australian politicians Alexander Downer and Amanda Vanstone, former premiers Neville Wran and Joh Bjelke-Petersen, and Australian writers Phillip Adams and Geoffrey Blainey.
He became a Member of the Order of Australia in 1990 for service to the performing arts.
Dr Gillies studied as an undergraduate at Monash University, and has been recognised for his career achievements with a Distinguished Alumni Award (1997) and the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa (2015), the University’s highest honour.
Before graduating at Monash University with a Bachelor of Arts (Education) in 1968, Dr Gillies attended Frankston Teachers’ College in 1960–61, graduating with a Primary Teacher Training Certificate. Frankston Teachers’ College became Monash University Peninsula campus in 1990. Prior to that it was the State College of Victoria (1974–82) and the Chisholm Institute of Technology (1982–90).
Growing up with a passion for drama and the arts, he taught drama and history at the Secondary Teachers College at Melbourne University following his graduation from Monash. By the late 1960s drama was the largest department at the College, with more than 300 students. The academic field of teaching drama to student teachers was, in his belief, the forerunner of the now long-established acting and drama courses at the Victorian College of the Arts.
While he enjoyed teaching, Dr Gillies made a decision to earn his living as an actor. He became a member of a group of ex-Monash and ex-Melbourne University students who formed the Australian Performing Group at the Pram Factory, Carlton, which was active throughout the 1970s, and was elected its inaugural Chair.
With his love for teaching and a passion for the performing arts, Dr Gillies is forever embedded in the
foundations of Australian drama and cultural life, influencing many productions performed today.

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.

Due to ongoing building upgrade works and the planned construction of new student accommodation at the Clayton campus, the number of residential car parking spaces in the Clayton Residential Village will be temporarily reduced at times to accommodate project requirements.
Residents are reminded that parking spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are not allocated or guaranteed. As outlined in the Parking Conditions, Monash University Accommodation cannot guarantee a parking space or the security of vehicles parked in residential car parks.

Over the next few years the Clayton Urban Community halls will have significant upgrades of the apartments including:
- Replacement of cooktops with induction stovetops with auto cut-off features
- New rangehoods
- Fresh paint
- New carpet
These works may cause some minimal noise disruptions to other halls in close proximity, however the majority of these works are scheduled outside of the Residential Contract period, during the summer to reduce any impacts on residents. Residents should consider that annual maintenance takes place during the summer period and, as a result, services provided to Residents are reduced and Residents may be required to move to alternate accommodation.
The refurbishment schedule is:
- Briggs Hall - Complete
