Bombala and surrounding communities are invited to provide feedback and learn more about the Bombala Multipurpose Service expansion, at a series of community consultation sessions in October.
The NSW and Australian Governments have committed $40 million for the project to deliver improved access to residential aged care services in Bombala, to help meet the current and future healthcare needs of the region.
Planning is progressing for the project which is expected to deliver 20 additional aged care beds, which will provide a significant boost to aged care accommodation in Bombala and surrounding areas.
The new aged care spaces will be designed to ensure comfort, safety and dignity for patients, within a welcoming, home-like environment. Planning for new staff accommodation is also underway to help attract and retain healthcare professionals in the region.
In October, Health Infrastructure and Southern NSW Local Health District, together with Nordon Jago Architects, will host a 2-hour community workshop to gain local insights and feedback that will help shape planning for the new facility and experience of residents.
The Bombala community can also attend an online presentation and Q&A or drop-in information session giving residents an opportunity to meet members of the project team, ask questions and learn more about the Bombala Multipurpose Service expansion.
Feedback can also be provided via an interactive online survey until Thursday 23 October 2025.
The project is being delivered by Southern NSW Local Health District and Health Infrastructure.
Construction timeframes will be confirmed following planning approval and the appointment of a building contractor.
