Title A name given to the resource 1853 - 1880: Laying the foundation of the Campus Description An account of the resource The University of Melbourne's Parkville campus was established in 1853. Originally it was an area of swampland which had been a food gathering area for local Wurundjeri people. After being fenced to exclude outsiders, the campus became a picturesque landscaped park into which more and more individual buildings were added. The Quadrangle, the Lake and the System Garden were the earliest developments on the University of Melbourne Parkville campus.

This proposal was rejected and another proposal was made and granted for the current site in the same year, 1853. In the initial proposal, a total of 100 acres of undeveloped land was requested in the north of the city, but only 25 acres were granted.
