For La Trobe, having those voices around the table means decisions and conversations can be informed by the experiences of people who live and work in the region.
With La Trobe University’s Regional Growth and Innovation Strategy 2025-2030 being delivered locally, the Regional Advisory Board provides an opportunity for members to share their unique knowledge and provide advice relating to strategic opportunities in the region.
For students, the strong local focus helps create stronger links between study and the region’s workforce, while partnerships can provide opportunities for businesses, organisations and community groups to engage with the university.
La Trobe’s presence in Shepparton is an important part of the region’s education landscape, giving local students access to university study while supporting the development of skills and knowledge needed across the Goulburn Valley.
The Regional Advisory Board is one way the university continues to listen and respond to the community and build meaningful connections.
As the Goulburn Valley continues to grow and change, having strong connections between the university and the community will remain important.
The Regional Advisory Board is helping ensure local perspectives are part of that conversation, with a focus on creating opportunities and supporting the region’s future.
