I thank the member for some notice of this question. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: I formally warn the member for Armadale for the first time. The member has interjected several times today, often with issues that have nothing to do with the member’s business. Mr BOARD: One of the major focuses for the Department of Training and Employment is the capital works that go into the expansion of our TAFE colleges in Western Australia. A few weeks ago I informed the House that Western Australia now has 150 TAFE campuses. In the past four and a half years some $50m have gone into expanding the capital works around Western Australia and providing a broader range of training opportunities in those local regions. It is important that the most up to date courses and the latest technology are available at TAFE colleges to maintain appropriate education and job opportunities for young people. The new $2.2m Katanning campus has started work. The construction program, which will be opened in June 2001, adds to the expanding program offered by the Great Southern College of TAFE in that area. A few weeks ago I opened the Katanning Inland Aquaculture Centre which runs programs to develop skills in aquaculture, particularly for indigenous people. It involves putting fish into dams and learning about a salt-water degradation program which takes the salt-water out of the ground to enable them to grow. The centre is a world first project. The Government is putting a large proportion of the department’s resources into regional areas. Its focus is to maintain quality training and to keep jobs in town.
