TAFE-Gippsland-Port-of-Sale

TAFE Gippsland’s new Port of Sale campus is nearing completion in Wellington Shire’s Port of Sale precinct.

It will become TAFE Gippsland’s newest vocational training campus; a $25 million capital development project funded by the Victorian Government. Construction began in late 2020 and will be completed in readiness to welcome students for the commencement of Term 2 in April.

TAFE Gippsland’s chief executive officer, Mr Grant Radford, said excitement is building within TAFE Gippsland and the Wellington community as the campus construction nears completion.

“We are just three to four weeks away from completing the main building works and then we will begin the important fit out and transition period,” Mr Radford said.

“It will be deeply satisfying to see our new vocational training facility open to students in Term 2 and for this facility to become a reality for our Wellington community.”

“This community have campaigned for many years for a centrally-located TAFE campus in the Wellington Shire and we are delighted to make that a reality.”

Mr Radford said the Port of Sale campus will be easily accessed by students and “will deliver on the training needs of the local business sector, industry partners and the local community”.

“The transition from our current Fulham campus to the new centrally-located campus will ensure our students and staff in Wellington Shire and surrounding communities have access to the first-class skills training facilities they deserve and delivering on what our industry and employer groups have asked for,” Mr Radford said.

The Victorian Government in conjunction with TAFE Gippsland will mark the opening of the Port of Sale campus with an official event later in the year, once the campus is fully operational and open to students.

TAFE Gippsland’s Port of Sale campus will deliver a quality vocational training experience, focusing on skills training to a range of local industry disciplines such as Automotive, Engineering, Carpentry, Health, Early Childhood Educationand Care and Hair and Beauty.

The past 12 months have also seen an expansion and refurbishment of TAFE Gippsland’s Sale CBD-based Flexible Learning Centre campus, along with the retention of our Sale Gtec campus which delivers VCAL studies to students in a supportive environment.
