　　The Victorian Government plans to build a new state-of-the art Biosciences Research Centre at La Trobe University.

　　The new centre will advance genomic plant and animal science and will focus new generation biosciences on threats such as climate change to Victoria’s agricultural exports.

　　La Trobe University’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Johnson, has welcomed the announcement by the Victorian Government in budget.

　　“We are delighted that the Victorian Government has chosen La Trobe as the site to build this important facility”, he said.

　　The Victorian Government and La Trobe University are working closely to finalise the proposed partnership arrangements.

　　The Victorian Government has allocated $180 million to the project. Subject to finalisation of the business case, La Trobe University is looking to commit up to $50m to the partnership.

　　The planned initiative will assist in positioning La Trobe within the top tier of Australian universities, and will boost the University’s and DPI’s international profile.

　　With the involvement of other research organisations such as CSIRO, the Centre will quickly establish itself as one of Australia's premier science facilities.
