The $105 million Moree Hospital Redevelopment has reached a major milestone with construction now underway.
A ceremonial sod turn was held today to officially mark the start of main works construction.
As part of the project, a new purpose-built acute services building will be delivered, housing an emergency department, operating theatres, medical imaging, birthing and inpatient unit, pathology and a new entry.
The redevelopment will provide contemporary health facilities to meet the health needs of the local community now and into the future.
Staff, community and stakeholders have played a key role in shaping the planning and design for the new and enhanced healthcare facility.
Main works contractor, Hutchinson Builders will be supported by up to 90 sub-contractors at the peak of the construction, with the project providing a boost to the local economy.
A ‘Meet the Builder’ event was recently hosted in Moree for local trades, businesses and suppliers to have the opportunity to be involved in the construction of the project.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2027 with all hospital services to continue operating throughout construction.
