The Noosa TAFE site may soon be restored to its former glory as “a number of parties” have put their hand up to take over the deserted campus.
The former TAFE site closed in 2014 with dwindling student numbers and has sat idle ever since, with only vandals, wildlife, and the homeless spending time at the Tewantin facility.
But everything that is old may soon be new again.
