Flinders' Master Plan

The Flinders University Bedford Park Campus Master Plan sets out a long‑term vision to guide the future growth and evolution of our flagship campus over the next 50 years. It provides a framework for how our buildings, landscapes, transport and spaces will evolve over time - ensuring the campus continues to support learning, research and community connection.

Developed through extensive engagement across 2024 and 2025, the Master Plan reflects the voices and perspectives of students, staff, alumni, Traditional Owners, local residents, community organisations, local councils, government and precinct partners. Feedback from these communities helped shape the early directions of the Plan in 2024, followed by additional engagement in 2025 to further test and refine ideas.

Aligned with Agenda 2035, the Plan supports our vision to change 10 million lives for the better in the coming decade. It supports Flinders University’s ambition to put students at the centre, enable research that matters, strengthen meaningful partnerships that create impact and advance sustainable outcomes. The Plan also recognises the vital role Bedford Park plays within a connected network of campuses across Adelaide, South Australia and the Northern Territory. While this Plan focusses on Bedford Park, we’re committed to all our locations and continue to invest in works right across our Flinders’ footprint.

The Master Plan envisions a campus that is vibrant, accessible, inclusive and connected. It celebrates Bedford Park’s unique bushland setting and enhances the everyday experience for those who study, work, visit or live nearby.

The $300m Flinders HealthCARE Centre, jointly funded by Flinders University and the Australian Government, will be the first building to be delivered as part of the Bedford Park Campus Master Plan. This facility will be a transformational health and workforce training initiative for Adelaide’s south, providing 10,000 additional episodes of care and graduating an additional 1300 work-ready health graduates each year.
