The announcement is a significant milestone in the NSW Government’s commitment to build a new ambulance station in Forster as part of the $232 million Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration (RAIR) program. 

Once completed the new station in Forster will include: 

  • internal parking for up to six emergency ambulance vehicles 

  • administration and office areas 

  • staff amenities 

  • logistics and storage areas 

  • relief accommodation 

  • covered wash bay 

  • staff parking; 

Next steps include further investigations, design development and seeking planning approval for the new station. 

The RAIR program is the single largest investment in regional NSW Ambulance’s 126-year history, with 24 new or upgraded ambulance stations already delivered or under construction as part of the $132 million Stage 1. Another $100 million worth of ambulance assets are being delivered under Stage 2 of the program. 

The NSW Government is investing a record $10.8 billion in health infrastructure over the next four years to 2025, including more than $900 million in rural and regional areas in 2021-22.
