I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question and for his commitment to the south west of Western
Australia.
(1) There are 300 students
currently enrolled at the Busselton campus.
(2) Based on
Australian Bureau of Statistics March 2018 data, the South West Development
Commission cites 2.3 per cent growth for Busselton's population from
2013 to March 2018. It is likely the campus growth will mirror the 2.3 per cent
growth over the next five-year period of average annual growth.
(3) The
Department of Training and Workforce Development continues to monitor
population growth and training demands in the south west.
(4) There is no
time frame for securing a second TAFE site in the south west region, as funding
must first be approved.
