Australian Trade Training College, a not-for-profit training organisation, is planning to offer workshop-based practical activities in order to train local apprentices and trainees across several traditional trade areas.
Besides the workshop-based practical activities, ATTC will also provide classroom-based theory learning.
The subject site, located at 36 Kremzow Road, Brendale, would be transformed into an educational establishment which will offer real-world educational experience to students.
The first level office, amenities and lunch room will accommodate staff administration whilst the ground floor offices and amenities will be built for student training.
The ground floor warehouse areas will be used for hands-on training of mechanical and tool components in a controlled environment and another existing warehouse will be used for storage requirements, including storage of the 1.1m3 bulk bins, bicycle parking and lockers.
Participants attending the site will primarily be those who are already engaged in apprenticeships and traineeships, employed by local businesses, many already in the Brendale area or are visiting the site to fulfill their off-the-job training requirements.
“A range of benefits will be derived from the proposal, including local employment generation and additional services that better meet the needs of the community,” the planning documents read.
