Flinders Master Plan

Colleges and services Property, Facilities and Development Flinders Master Plan

About the Master Plan project

This year, we’re commencing an exciting project to update our Campus Master Plan for Bedford Park. Our new Master Plan will guide, inform and prioritise our physical infrastructure investments and decisions to ensure our campus continues to support Flinders University’s strategic objectives now and into the future.

Our aim is to create a uniquely Flinders Master Plan that underpins our mission to change lives and change the world – integrating and building on the legacy of our past, and in turn inspiring our future.

With approximately $1b worth of physical assets, we are creating a planning framework for our developments, buildings, spaces, landscapes, and consolidating our approach to transport, parking, utilities and infrastructure.

In Flinders University’s history, we’ve undertaken one other Master Planning project in 1992. Since then, there have been significant and rapid advances across the tertiary education sector, learning and teaching, technology, sustainability, research, student and staff expectations and much more.

Helping Flinders to fully leverage and maximise future opportunities in research and education, the Master Plan will be a blueprint for the physical development of Bedford Park, helping to create an outstanding campus experience for our students, staff and visitors.

To achieve this, we’ll be engaging with our students and staff, the Flinders community, and our stakeholders over the course of the project. Details about how you can get involved, indicative timeframes and more information is available below.

We’re thrilled to be part of this ‘once in a generation’ project and invite you to join us as we develop the new Flinders University Master Plan.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Why is a Master Plan important?

A Master Plan will help to underpin our strategic objectives and create world class campus experiences for our students and staff.

Flinders University opened in 1966 and since then, only one Master Plan has been created in 1992. Since then, the old plan has become outdated. We need a new Master Plan that can support Flinders to deliver its vision, mission and ongoing future success.

Importantly, as we’re custodians of $1b of assets we need to ensure our campuses are fit for the future and our capital investments are prudent and well informed.
 

What other strategies and plans will help to inform the Master Plan?

In addition to our 2025 Agenda, the Master Plan will be informed by a range University initiatives and strategies, including:

  • Flinders City Strategy
  • Flinders Village Master Plan
  • Tonsley presence
  • Rural & Remote strategy
  • Transport strategy
  • Reconciliation Action Plan
  • Research, Learning and Teaching strategies
  • Sustainability Action Plan
  • Student experience
  • Student accommodation
  • Digital Strategy

The Master Plan will also consider external influences such as:

  • Local council initiatives and relationships
  • Precinct partners; such as Flinders Medical Centre
  • Industry partners
  • Local community

 

Is the Master Plan only for Bedford Park? What about our other campuses?

Our Master Plan will focus on Bedford Park (including Sturt), however many of the guiding principles and elements will flow across our other sites.

 

Who gets a say in the Master Plan process?

Everyone! We’ll be providing engagement opportunities and welcome input from all students and staff to have their say, and our industry partners, alumni, key stakeholders from business and government and our local community – anyone who has an interest in Flinders University’s future.

 

Will you include the age/condition of the buildings on campus in the Master Plan?

All assets age and require ongoing maintenance, renewal or replacement. Separately, we’re conducting a Building Audit, so all of this information will be captured in one place and can be considered holistically as part of the Plan.
