The Liberal candidate for Bega Russell Fitzpatrick has welcomed the Eurobodalla community being a step closer to expanded and enhanced healthcare services with early works now underway at the site of the new $260 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEarly works of this vital health project have kicked off and that\u2019s great news for the Moruya and Bateman\u2019s Bay area,\u201d Mr Fitzpatrick said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis state-of-the-art health facility will be a game changer and provide crucial support for our community. Investments like this are only possible because of the Liberal Team\u2019s strong financial record and having a plan to move NSW forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Health Brad Hazzard today visited the site, marking the important milestone for the new state-of-the-art hospital which will transform healthcare for the Eurobodalla community from Batemans Bay to Narooma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Hazzard said the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for the hospital has been finalised and will shortly be lodged with the Department of Planning and Environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis marks a significant milestone in the planning for this new hospital, which will provide more health services than are currently available at both the Moruya and Batemans Bay hospitals combined,\u201d Mr Hazzard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital will support core clinical services to be delivered at a role delineation Level Four, and has been informed by extensive consultation with clinicians, operational staff, community members, and local and state government agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFeedback from the local community has shaped key features of the hospital and we encourage everyone to view the latest plans and provide feedback as we move forward with this exciting project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Regional Health and Mental Health Bronnie Taylor said Aboriginal archaeological work will be carried out on site marking the important first step in early works construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe local Aboriginal community has been central to helping shape the new health facility, and over the coming weeks, archeologists will be working closely with them to help identify significant Aboriginal objects or artefacts before construction commences,\u201d Mrs Taylor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is an important time for the community, which will see lots of activity happening on site over the coming months as we commence construction on the new hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cConstruction of a new roundabout on the Princes Highway will also start in the coming months, which will provide access to the hospital site during construction and become the main entrance to the hospital when it opens in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The $260 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital will be a Level 4 health facility and services including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Construction of the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital is due for completion in 2025. It is part of the NSW Government\u2019s record $11.9 billion investment in health infrastructure over four years to 2025-26, with nearly a third of the capital allocation in this financial year going towards regional and rural health facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
