New Transport and Engineering Technology
Centre for Wetherill Park TAFE The 19th June 2013, the state government announced the approval for funding which would allow the construction of the Transport and Engineering Technology Centre at Wetherill Park TAFE
“The project will shift in delivery to simulation, technology based training and industry projects. Simulation technology will be implemented across the areas of engines and transmissions, fuel systems, electronics, fluid power and driving simulation for heavy vehicles. Expansion of E-learning and the roll out of the National Broadband Network will allow SWSI to facilitate direct learning in the work place. This will allow the student to learn on the job via remote technology. It will also provide an industry training hub for the sector to advance the industry on a global front.”Extract from media release,Adrian Piccoli MP, 19/6/2013
The following slides outline the recent proposals for the Transport Engineering Technology Centre at Wetherill Park TAFE.
Plans and diagrams displayed were discussed at PCG9 (Project Control Group meeting #9) held at Wetherill Park TAFE, 19/5/14.These slides, do not represent the final design, and the images used are for illustrating ideas and concepts.

Wetherill Park TAFE was officially opened on the 9th
September 1981 by Minister for Education,the Hon. Paul Landa LL.B. M.L.C.
Today, Automotive Programs are delivered in the following locations at Wetherill Park College:
• Light Vehicle Programs delivered in CP BLOCK• Heavy Vehicle and Plant Programs delivered in:
• DP BLOCK (electrical & diesel)• H BLOCK (engines , gear boxes, and final drives)• F BLOCK (brakes, frames, hydraulics and
commercial classes)• M BLOCK (stage 1 apprentice classes)
• Auto Electrical Programs delivered in CT, CP, DP & F
Blocks.

• Staff accommodation (staff rooms and offices for head teachers, teachers and clerical support staff) for automotive programs at Wetherill Park are located on the ground and second floor of J Block, and in CT Block.
• J block also presents access issues for disabled persons wishing to visit staff accommodated on the second floor, as there are no ramps or lifts for wheel
chair access.
