Transcript

00:00I'm happy to update the House about another fantastic use of TAFE site, this time in Bega.

00:04So we've gone from Tamworth and let's talk about an update on the Bega TAFE.

00:08One of the first announcements that I made as Minister for Housing was the activation

00:11of the old Bega TAFE for housing and the member there, Michael Holland, was really proactive

00:19in making sure that the relocation of the Bega TAFE did not leave a vacant eyesore on the old site

00:25and it was a great opportunity for us to identify that site.

00:29One of the first that we identified through the land audit for a housing outcome.

00:33Again, a lot of pressure on social housing, in particular in southern New South Wales.

00:38These are communities that were hit by bushfires.

00:40They were hit by COVID sea changes, people wanting to get out of the city

00:46and move to some of our beautiful coastal regions along southern New South Wales.

00:49But that has had an impact on the rental market and that has meant that social housing in particular

00:54has been very squeezed.

00:55So TAFE and Homes New South Wales working together in Bega to deliver social and affordable housing.

01:00That project is on track.

01:01That project is on track.

01:03That project is based on the

01:22release of the name of the number one.
