The other seven are West Wyalong, Batemans Bay, Byron Bay, Hay, Jindabyne, Nambucca Heads and Nelson Bay.
On Thursday, Minister responsible for TAFE NSW Adam Marshall said the state government would spend $62 million constructing the eight new campuses in locations which "have never had a major TAFE presence before".

“The NSW Liberals and Nationals are embarking on the largest-ever expansion of TAFE NSW’s footprint across rural and regional NSW,” he said.
“TAFE campuses are the beating hearts of our country communities and provide essential access to the education and training people need to get a job and get ahead."
Mr Marshall said the government had already invested $64 million in 14 new TAFE campuses in rural and regional NSW since 2017.
He said more TAFE campuses resulted in more people being able to access almost 700,000 free courses.
