TAFE CLOSURES

216 Mr HANNA (Mitchell) (31 July 2007). Are there any plans to close any TAFE campuses or sell land at the same sites and if so, what are they?

The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for Youth, Minister for Gambling): At this stage there are no approved plans to close campuses nor to sell any associated land. Any reconfiguration of the TAFE asset base would have as a primary objective reinvestment to upgrade buildings and facilities to best benefit students and community in furthering skills development in the State.
