Investing in Community Education and Training (ICET) Project

In 2009, the Australian Government announced the Teaching and Learning Capital Fund (TLCF) for Vocational Education and Training (VET). The program, as part of a $4.7 billion nation-building infrastructure package to support Australia's economy.

Investing in Community Education and Training (ICET) - a total of $100 million - was made available to community education and training providers, who were able to apply for small capital grants of between $50,000 (GST exclusive) and $250,000 (GST exclusive) to assist with maintenance or the purchase of equipment and for larger grants of $250,000 to $1.5 million (GST exclusive) for major capital infrastructure developments or upgrades.

The Far South Coast Community College was awarded a grant of $63,500 to help fund an $80,000 project to upgrade its premises and infrastructure at 32 Church Street Bega NSW.

These improvements include new floor coverings, a new street-front reception area, 2 new kitchenettes, gas heating, roof insulation and cooling, hot water, widening of doors for disabled access and a new disabled access ramp at the rear of the college.

Landlords, Ingoodwe Trust, and the College have also contributed to the refurbishment.
