Representatives of Charles Sturt University (CSU) and North Coast TAFE (NCTAFE) will meet in Port Macquarie on Thursday 5 July to implement a formal governance process between the parties to enhance provision of higher education programs for the Mid North Coast region. Dr Muyesser Durur, Campus Director of CSU in Port Macquarie, said, “Charles Sturt University has established a governance structure to provide overall leadership to guide strategy and implementation, including planning, monitoring and risk assessment of all facets for the successful development and sustainable growth of the University in Port Macquarie. The CSU-NCTAFE joint management committee is one of the key elements of the overall governance mechanism in place to achieve this.” The focus of the Governance Steering Committee at CSU in Port Macquarie is to plan, support and facilitate the collaboration between North Coast TAFE and the University in accordance with federal Structural Adjustment Fund (SAF) agreements and milestones.
