Member for Clarence, Richie Williamson, has welcomed the next stage of the $263.8 million Grafton Base Hospital redevelopment with the release of concept designs and a series of information sessions set to be held next month.
Mr Williamson highlighted that the $263.8 million was a commitment made by the former NSW Nationals in Government, and he was pleased that the current NSW Government is honouring this crucial investment in the region's healthcare.
“I am thrilled to see this redevelopment moving forward, as it will significantly enhance health services for Grafton and the surrounding communities,” Mr Williamson said.
“The redevelopment will deliver a new three-storey building, featuring a state-of-the-art Emergency Department, Emergency Short Stay, Medical Imaging and MRI facilities, an inpatient unit, and an expanded Day Surgery and Operating Suite with two additional operating theatres.
“This project also includes refurbishing support service areas and creating space for the future relocation of maternity services, ensuring comprehensive healthcare for all.
“Importantly, the project identifies future development zones to allow for further expansion and improvements as needed, making sure that the hospital can continue to meet the growing demands of our community,” he added.
Mr Williamson encouraged all community members to get involved and provide their input during this vital process.
“Community input is fundamental as we work together to shape the future of healthcare in our region,” Mr. Williamson said.
There will be opportunities to learn more about the redevelopment and ask questions at the upcoming information sessions at Grafton Shoppingworld on:
Wednesday, 11 September, from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm
Thursday, 12 September, from 11.00 am to 1.00 pm
“These sessions are an excellent chance for the community to engage directly with the project team and ensure that the redevelopment reflects our local needs and priorities,” Mr. Williamson said.
