The architecture firm selected to design the new Melton TAFE campus was announced last week, with the site set to open in 2028, according to the state government.
Announced by Melton MP Steve McGhie on Tuesday 7 October, Australasian architecture firm Architectus will design the new Kangan Institute campus in Cobblebank, expected to open in 2028.
According to the state, it will invest $55 million to establish the new campus that will deliver training with a focus on construction and other trades to around 800 students each year.
The selected site will be built on the corner of Hollingsworth Drive and Ferris Road in Cobblebank, near the Cobblebank Railway Station.
Skills and TAFE Minister Gayle Tierney said with Melton and surrounding suburbs as some of the fastest-growing places in Victoria, the new campus will “give locals access to training that will help them seize the opportunities of the future”.
“TAFE Melton will be a showcase of Victoria’s TAFE Network at its best – with state-of-the-art
designed facilities, high-quality training, and pathways that connect locals directly to jobs,” Ms Tierney said.
Melton MP Steve McGhie said the announcement is very exciting for the community.
“This leading TAFE campus will give locals access to some of the world’s best training, close to home,” Mr McGhie said
The campus will deliver training with a focus on key trades – including plumbing, electrical, building and construction.
