Representatives from the University of New England met with Tamworth businesses and council today, to discuss the next stage of planning for a local campus.
The proposed site would host 6 separate hubs across town.
It would include centres for business, health, aviation and aboriginal culture.
“The whole concept of this is quite unique. So we will have a Tamworth central campus and around that campus we will have industry embedded centres.”
“We’re the only region of this size without a university campus proper and I’m very pleased to say that I have a high degree of comfort in the way the strategic planning is happening now.”
Plans will be submitted to businesses and tiers of government to attract funding.
The summit wraps up tomorrow.
