WORK to deliver the Moree Hospital redevelopment project is a step closer with a main works construction tender recently released.
More than $105 million has been invested in the redevelopment to improve health outcomes for Moree and the surrounding community.
The redevelopment will deliver a new clinical services building, providing enhanced healthcare facilities on the existing hospital site to support Moree and surrounding communities now and into the future.
The project is expected to include an emergency department, operating theatres, medical imaging, birthing and inpatient unit, pathology unit and a new main entry.
The new building has been designed around the existing buildings on the hospital campus ensuring all services remain connected and integrated on-site.
Planning for the hospital redevelopment is nearing completion. The detailed design for the redevelopment has been completed by early works contractor, BESIX Watpac, and will soon be on exhibition as part of the statutory planning process.
Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said the Moree Hospital redevelopment will provide patients, families and carers with a modern healthcare facility to meet the health needs of the community now and into the future.
“The release of the construction tender is a significant milestone for the project,” Mr Park said.
“We are grateful for the valuable time and input provided by staff and stakeholders into the planning design process for the redevelopment and look forward to seeing a builder appointed.
“This is also a great opportunity for the community to provide their final feedback on the plans while they are on exhibition.”
The redevelopment plans are on exhibition and feedback can be provided via Health Infrastructure’s website at: https://www.hinfra.health.nsw.gov.au/projects/on-exhibition until 11.59pm on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
Following the completion of the competitive tender process, a builder will be engaged, and the project scope and a construction timeline will be confirmed.
Construction is anticipated to commence next year and the community will continue to be updated as the project progresses.
