Western Metropolitan Region

Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (12:59): (801) My question is directed to the Minister for Skills and TAFE, Minister Tierney, regarding the ongoing delay in the opening of the promised TAFE facility in Sunbury. It has been almost a year since the announcement by the member for Sunbury Josh Bull. The community is still waiting for details regarding the location, opening date and available courses at the new TAFE campus. This delay is concerning for access to vocational education and training, which are crucial for the residents of Sunbury and surrounding areas. Can the minister please give an update on the government commitment and ensure for my constituents that the promises made by the government are upheld and that essential services for such education are delivered properly? I call for the minister to clarify the status of the Sunbury TAFE project and to expedite the proceedings for these constituents’ benefit. The residents of Sunbury deserve quality education and training opportunities close to their homes to get kids off the street and onto the tools.
