Work to deliver the Moree Hospital Redevelopment is a step closer with a main works construction tender recently released to deliver the project.
The NSW Government is investing $105 million 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, and pathology, 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 onsite.
Planning for the hospital redevelopment is nearing completion. The detailed design for the redevelopment has been completed by early works contractor, BESIX Watpac, and soon to be on exhibition as part of the statutory planning process.
The redevelopment plans are on exhibition and feedback can be provided via Health Infrastructure’s website at: until 11.59pm on Tuesday, 1 October 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 in 2025 and the community will continue to be updated as the project progresses.
