The Andrews Labor Government is boosting critical health infrastructure in the Strathbogie Shire, with a new ambulance station set to be built on Weir Street in Euroa.
Located adjacent to Euroa Health, the new station will deliver state-of-the-art facilities to support paramedics and ensure they can respond quickly to local emergencies and save lives.
Designed with a three-bay garage for ambulances, training facilities, relievers’ quarters and a fully equipped kitchen, it will also include important features to enhance the comfort and safety of the station’s hardworking paramedics with two rest and recline areas and improved security and car parking.
The station’s location has been carefully selected to ensure the best coverage of ambulance services for the community. Along with being adjacent to Euroa Health, it is also near other important community facilities including schools.
The project is being delivered with the Victorian Health Building Authority (VHBA) in partnership with Ambulance Victoria.
Construction is currently underway or set to begin on further stations across the state including in Paynesville, Karingal, Inglewood, Gisborne and Foster – providing paramedics with a safe and modern home base while on the job.
As stated by Minister for Health Infrastructure Mary-Anne Thomas
“Our paramedics provide Victorians with their expertise, compassion and dedication each and every day – it goes without saying, they deserve the best home base to help them recuperate and stay safe at work.”
“We are rebuilding the ambulance station in Euroa to ensure the local community can receive the world-class lifesaving emergency care they deserve.”
As stated by Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes
“We are investing in Euroa’s ambulance station because we know how important our paramedics are to responding quickly to local emergencies and saving lives.”
