Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said, “TAFE NSW is critical to the Mid North Coast economy and this investment demonstrates the NSW Government’s commitment to training the region’s workforce at a time of growth and opportunity. “The new Pacific Bay Resort Studios and Village is set to drive new jobs in the creative industries, and there’s a growing need for skilled workers to support the expanding South Coffs Enterprise Area Health, Education, Airport, and Stadium precincts. “This funding will increase TAFE NSW’s capacity to deliver training aligned to these growing local industries and support the economy into the future.” TAFE NSW Coffs Harbour Education Campus sits on a precinct shared with Southern Cross University and the Coffs Harbour Senior College on Hogbin Drive.
