The Grafton community is being invited to learn more about the $263.8 million Grafton Base Hospital redevelopment at a series of information sessions next month, as concept designs are released for the project.
The redevelopment will deliver a new three-storey building, including a new Emergency Department, Emergency Short Stay, Medical Imaging and MRI, and inpatient unit, enhancing health services for the region.
The Day Surgery and Operating Suite will be expanded, to provide two extra operating theatres, increasing overall capacity. A refurbishment of a range of back of house and support service areas is also planned.
“We are excited to share more about this important project with the Grafton community, at the upcoming information sessions,” said Minister for Regional Health, Ryan Park.
“The Grafton Base Hospital Redevelopment will deliver modern treatment spaces to support contemporary models of care and improve capacity.
“Planning for the redevelopment has been carried out in close consultation with clinical staff, ensuring a strong focus on delivering on identified clinical priorities.”
The redevelopment also identifies future development zones to enable further works to be completed in the future, the Minister said.
He said feedback and input from staff, stakeholders, and the community will continue to help shape the redevelopment.
The local community is invited to learn more about the redevelopment and ask the project team questions at pop-up sessions at Grafton Shoppingworld on:
- Wednesday, 11 September, 3.00pm-5.00pm
- Thursday, 12 September, 11.00am-1.00pm
Construction timeframes will be confirmed once planning has been finalised and a builder is engaged.
