YARRA: All-electric TAFE at Collingwood


There has been a major transformation of the Collingwood TAFE campus.
Gayle Tierney, Minister for Skills and TAFE, last week officially opened Melbourne Polytechnic’s revitalised Collingwood campus, which will be the first all-electric TAFE campus in Victoria.
Students and teachers at the environmentally conscious site will benefit from new Auslan training spaces, computer and digital design labs, content creation rooms, painting and print-making rooms, front of house services, student services, a lecture theatre and a library.
Aall gas systems were replaced with electric alternatives during the campus upgrades.
The Collingwood project was supported by a $40 million investment from the State Government’s Building Better TAFE Fund.
The upgraded campus will offer free TAFE courses in priority areas including Auslan, cyber security and accounting. It will also deliver the Certificate III in Floristry.
