Jeremy Rockliff,Minister for Health
The Tasmanian Liberal Government has a plan to improve access to paramedics and improve response times across Tasmania, and we are delivering on it.
As we continue to increase our Ambulance and paramedic services across the State, a major milestone has been reached for a new superstation for Glenorchy and the surrounding areas.
The new Glenorchy Ambulance Station will be constructed at a greenfield site at 11 Timsbury Road, Glenorchy.
Plans have been confirmed for the new ambulance site to accommodate and deploy up to 18 vehicles by 2035.
The new Glenorchy Ambulance Station will allow for a growing paramedic workforce to service the region and provide the facilities needed to deliver exceptional out-of-hospital care well into the future.
The station will include modern fit-for-purpose facilities to meet future demand including contemporary administration, operations, and staff amenities as well as better garaging of vehicles and parking spaces.
Importantly, the construction of the new Glenorchy Ambulance Station will boost the health service for Glenorchy and meet the future needs and demands of services throughout Hobart’s northern suburbs.
Acquisition of the Timsbury Road site follows an extensive review conducted by the Department of Health to identify and assess the suitability of several other proximate locations for the new ambulance station.
A drop-in information session will be held on Wednesday, June 8, and a public display for the wider community to view the design of the new ambulance station will be held from June 9-15. The information session and the public display will be at Glenorchy Library.
