The expansion of the Port Lincoln campus of the Australian Maritime and Fishing Academy is welcome news for local students and the local economy. The academy is expanding to cater for ongoing growth and demand for courses and will nearly double in size catering for a bigger administration area, more office space for lecturers additional engineering bays and new unisex toilets. Work has already started on the expansion which will eventually enable new courses such as Marine Engine Driver courses to be held in Port Lincoln.
