Recently, Melbourne University decided to pause work on the Fishermans Bend Campus. This decision has also been reported in The Age (paywall).
The University’s development was predicated on the Victorian Government meeting its promised timetable to build, develop and open tram infrastructure into the area by 2025 as stated in the 2018 Fishermans Bend Framework Plan and discussed by the BCNA.
This failure by the Victorian Government is a big disappointment for businesses, residents and the wider community. The BCNA believes Melbourne University has acted responsibly given the circumstances.
