Meadowbank TAFE to be centre piece<br />

of new education precinct - Dominello<br />

MEADOWBANK TAFE will not be sold off and will be a centre piece of a new<br />

educational precinct, Ryde MP Victor Dominello announced on Friday.<br />

Mr Dominello made the announcement at the TAFE site alongside the New South<br />

Wales Minister for TAFE Adam Marshall and Bennelong Liberal candidate John Alexander<br />

but stopped short of announcing new schools at the site.<br />

“I look forward to providing the community<br />

with more details as we progress this exciting<br />

initiative next year,” Mr Dominello said.<br />

His announcement follows a recent community<br />

forum hosted in West Ryde by City of Ryde<br />

Mayor and state Labor candidate Jerome Laxale<br />

where the opposition’s spokesperson on TAFE<br />

Prue Car warned of a “sell off” of Meadowbank<br />

TAFE to property developers.<br />

Mr Dominello said Meadowbank TAFE will not<br />

be sold off.<br />

“Meadowbank TAFE is not for sale and not a<br />

blade of grass will be sold to any private interests<br />

while I am the local MP,” he said.<br />

Mr Marshall also squashed speculation that<br />

there will be staff cuts and building closures<br />

when the educational precinct is being built.<br />

“The proposed educational precinct is not expected<br />

to have any impact on TAFE staffing and<br />

measures will be taken to ensure there is minimal<br />

disruption,” Mr Marshall said.<br />

“In fact, it will help ensure facilities at Meadowbank<br />

TAFE can be modernised and continue<br />

to provide the best services to give local people<br />

providing this vital infrastructure will allow our students<br />

to thrive into the future. We are delivering for schools<br />

investment in building and upgrading schools, including:<br />

1. A new high school in Meadowbank<br />
