Construction is underway on the $105 million Moree Hospital Redevelopment, which will provide enhanced healthcare facilities for the local community.
Moree Hospital staff joined dignitaries and community members to turn the first sod, marking the start of main works construction.
“The redevelopment will provide a significant boost to the local economy during construction supporting many direct jobs, as well as the potential for supporting indirect jobs.” said Minister for Regional Health, Ryan Park.
The $105 million redevelopment will offer contemporary health facilities to support the best models of care to meet the health needs of the growing community now and well into the future.
It will deliver a new purpose-built acute services building on the existing hospital campus to house the emergency department, operating theatres, medical imaging, birthing and inpatient unit, pathology, and a new main entry.
Staff, community and stakeholders have helped shaped the planning and design of $105 million redeveloped hospital.
“The feedback from staff, community and stakeholders throughout the planning and design has ensured the new hospital building creates a welcoming and supportive environment that reflects the heritage and culture of the region.” said Park.
Hutchinson Builders has been engaged to deliver the project, which will be supported by up to 90 sub-contractors at the peak of construction.
Local trades, businesses and suppliers were recently invited to meet the builder at events held in Moree to learn more about opportunities to be involved construction for the project. Local trades and subcontractors are encouraged to register their interest by emailing Alec Noble at: Alec.Noble@hutchinsonbuilders.com.au
Construction on the Moree Hospital Redevelopment is scheduled for completion in 2027.
All hospital services will continue to operate during construction.
