Port Stephens MP, Kate Washington has cast doubt on a Coalition promise to deliver a TAFE campus at Nelson Bay.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian made the announcement on Friday, saying the government wants to give Port Stephens residents better access to education.
But Kate Washington says the promise has been made on the eve of an election with no land, no site identified, no planning work done and no timeline for completion.
The Port Stephens MP and Shadow Minister for The Hunter says the Liberal National government can't be trusted to deliver on the promise, given their track record when it comes to supporting TAFE.
Kate Washington says the Tomaree Education Centre was purpose-built to include a primary and secondary school as well as a TAFE and, while the facilities are still there, the government has refused to provide the resources to run the TAFE courses needed.
