Facilities & Finance
The University has a range of sporting facilities located within the Parkville Campus Sports Precinct. Other facilities include Lincoln Square Fitness, the Ski Lodge at Mount Buller, the Boat House on the Yarra River, and the mountaineering hut at Mount Feathertop.
Estate Masterplan and Sport
The University released the Estate Masterplan in 2023 along with the commitment to improve the sport offerings within the Parkville campus, with further work to progress in 2024.

Accessibility upgrades
Ensuring our facilities are accessible to everyone is a high priority. We were pleased and grateful to the University when internal stairways and entrances were upgraded with new stair nosing, handrails and tactiles at both the Nona Lee Sports Centre and Beaurepaire Centre. Navigating our buildings is now considerably safer and easier as a result.

New electronic key cabinet
A new electronic key cabinet was installed at the Nona Lee Sports Centre to improve privacy and greater accessibility to stakeholders. The new system of borrowing keys provides improved accountability and visibility of who accesses facilities, while club volunteers can also access keys during unstaffed hours.

Nona Lee Sports Centre reception upgrade
A refresh of the reception area including new self-serve terminals and desks for staff have been installed in the Nona Lee Sports Centre. The project was completed early in the year for staff to better serve and interact with customers, while the new terminals allow patrons to directly book into classes and spaces.
