Sunbury’s new TAFE is here to stay – at least for the next 50 years.
Sunbury MP Josh Bull announced that the state government has granted Kangan Institute a 50-year lease to develop and operate the new TAFE facility in Sunbury. The lease has the option to be extended for a further 50 years.
“This is a big win for Sunbury – securing a long-term home for TAFE means locals can build skills for great careers close to their homes,” Mr Bull said.
“We’re working closely with Kangan Institute and engaging with industry and communities in Sunbury to deliver a TAFE that meets the skills and training needs of Victoria’s north-west.”
The location of the new TAFE was announced last year, after the state government allocated $25 million towards the new campus which will be close to Sunbury’s town centre.
The new campus will provide cutting-edge facilities to support practical, hands-on training across a range of skill areas.
It will also serve the region’s growing population, alongside the Melton Campus and the established Broadmeadows Campus to bring more learning opportunities to Melbourne’s outer north.
Spowers Architects is creating detailed designs for the new TAFE. Kangan Institute and the state government will engage closely with the campus neighbours and industry in the development of the facility.
“Our investment in TAFE is providing facilities that are built to last, ensuring Victorians can access high-quality training where it is needed most, now and into the future,” Skills and TAFE Minister Gayle Tierney said.
“This new TAFE will be a gamechanger for the people of Sunbury – creating more opportunities for people to get the skills they need to without leaving their community.“
Kangan Institute is already offering courses in Sunbury through the Hume Global learning Centre, including vocational English and Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.
Kangan Institute chief executive officer Sally Curtain said they are building futures with the new campus.
“With this 50-year lease, Kangan Institute is here to stay – bringing future-focused training closer to home for Sunbury,” she said.
The Sunbury campus is expected to open in July 2028 at 7 Evans Street.
