Masterplan progress update

Following the announcement of the Masterplan vision by School Council, much work has taken place to lay the groundwork for prioritised projects.

Development works at the Marles Playing Fields in Bulleen have continued in direct response to the impact of the North East Link works on our site.

The school has received permission from the Department of Transport and Planning for a ‘change of use’ of the former boarding house properties south of the Trinity Chapel. Dependent on the outcome of a Boroondara Council application to amend certain restrictive covenants, and subsequent development approval and neighbour consultation, the school will apply for a planning permit for the proposed Year 9 Village development. Alongside these important statutory steps, our teaching staff and students will work with the architects to inform and shape the design of the facility. Our Traffic Management planners have been working with the school to finalise a plan for the safer and more efficient use of our roads and pathways in the precinct. Also factored into this project are allowances for the planned underground carpark, which is intended to take more than 250 cars off our local roads.

Realising our Masterplan requires vision, careful planning, and, most importantly, the right resources. A combination of school funds, strategic borrowings and vital community support will be crucial in bringing these plans to life.

Over the last five years, the school has responsibly invested in various capital works across our campuses, including structural, technical, safety, wellbeing and pedagogical improvements. These are essential to the day-to-day operation of the school and prepare the existing landscape for proposed future developments as outlined in the Masterplan.
