It’s looking like a “TAFE bidding war” between the current NSW Government and the NSW Labor opposition. The latest additions is a promise by the NSW Nationals to build six more TAFE campuses across regional NSW: in Byron Bay, Cobar, Hay, Jindabyne, Nambucca Heads and West Wyalong, in addition to those campuses previously promised at Batemans Bay and Nelsons Bay.
The new campuses are in addition to a promise to develop a future TAFE Shared Services Centre in Griffith that will create 60 local jobs, and a new Western Sydney TAFE campus near Penrith and the planned Western Sydney airport.
The ABC has developed a “NSW election promise tracker” to monitor the election promises made.
