The Glen Innes community is being invited to provide feedback on the latest plans for the Glen Innes Hospital Redevelopment, as part of the NSW Government’s $50 million investment to improve health outcomes for the area.
Two information sessions will be held next week at the Mackenzie Mall in Glen Innes, with the community encouraged to attend to view the hospital’s redevelopment plans, ask the project team questions, and provide feedback.
Drop-in sessions will be held at Mackenzie Mall (outside Coles) on:
Wednesday, 24 July from 4:00pm-6:00pm
Thursday, 25 July from 12:00pm-2:00pm
The Glen Innes Hospital Redevelopment includes a new building to house an emergency department, medical imaging service, ambulance bays, and mortuary, and a new main entrance. All acute services will be located on the same level to improve flow throughout the hospital for patients, visitors and staff.
The redevelopment will integrate with the existing hospital to ensure all health services remain connected, with the new upgrades planned for the operating theatre and refurbishment of the birthing suite. The design also considers expansion zones to enable further works to be completed in the future.
Construction timeframes for the redevelopment will be confirmed as planning progresses and following the appointment of a building contractor.
The plans are available to view on the project website, and feedback can be provided until Monday, 12 August.
