The Construction Training Centre is managed by a small and dedicated team, who are committed to providing a safe, high quality and enjoyable precinct that is central to on-site activity. We take pride in the community that has developed within CTC among our tenants, their workers and all industry organisations who make use of our facilities. Our aim is to facilitate the centre being an industry ‘resource hub’, working towards our mission of up-skilling and driving advancement for the future of the construction industry. Our team are equipped to deal quickly and flexibly with any issues and opportunities that arise, and we are always here to help.
