Mt Gambier Technical College Opening

The Limestone Coast Technical College in Mount Gambier has officially opened, marking a significant milestone for education and skills development in regional South Australia.

Delivered for the South Australian Government’s Department for Education, the new facility has been constructed using NeXTimber® Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glue Laminated
Timber (GLT) for the building’s main structure. The college provides purpose‑built learning environments for students, with specialist pathways across agri‑tech, multi‑trades, early
childhood education, and health and social support.

NeXTimber worked closely with the project team to develop a mass timber solution that balanced architectural intent, performance requirements and buildability, demonstrating the capability of
locally grown and locally manufactured timber in large‑scale education projects.

Beyond material supply, Timberlink’s partnership with the Limestone Coast Technical College reflects a broader commitment to the region, supporting agri‑tech and multi‑trades programs
through site tours, work experience opportunities and potential employment pathways for students.

The opening of the college represents an important investment in future skills, sustainable construction, and long‑term opportunities for the Limestone Coast community.
