Before the last election I promised if elected, we would deliver a brand-new TAFE for our community – Sunbury Kangan.

After securing the land and appointing designers and architects, I am thrilled to now share the designs with you.

It was great to this week be joined by the Minister for Skills and TAFE, my good friend Gayle Tierney MP, the CEO of Bendigo Kangan Institute, Laura Macpherson, and some local students already studying courses in education and training at the Sunbury Global Learning Centre.

When our new TAFE opens, the course program will focus on hair and beauty, digital technologies, early childhood education, community services, pre-apprenticeships and industry-specific short courses.

The site of the new TAFE campus spans almost 3,000 square meters at 7 Evans Street and 2-4 O’Shanassy Street in Sunbury, close to the town centre and public transport.

More Victorians than ever are getting the skills they need to begin a rewarding career in in-demand industries – with the Allan Labor Government making Free TAFE open to more people and upgrading TAFEs right across the state.

This is the next massive step made possible thanks to a $25 million investment from the Allan Labor Government
