Work toward establishing a single Melba site began in 2013.

• Investigations focused on which site to develop.
• The Regeneration Project identified the senior campus site as the preferred location.
• Some 1.2 million was then spent over 2 years on planning and architectural drawings.
• The total school rebuild was costed at $25-27 million.
• A Project Control Group was established in July 2015 including Melba College representatives.
