Major progress on Gunnedah Hospital Redevelopment

Oct 14, 2024

THE $53 million Gunnedah Hospital Redevelopment has reached a significant construction milestone with the first major concrete pour for the new acute services building.

The redevelopment will deliver a new acute services building, housing an expanded emergency department and a modern birthing, maternity, and inpatient unit, that will enhance healthcare and support contemporary models of care.

Construction is progressing on site, including the demolition of the former maternity wing, and early childhood education centre earthworks and piling, setting the foundation for the concrete base.

The foundation for the new acute services building will total nearly 500 cubic metres delivered in multiple concrete pours across the site.

In the coming weeks, a mobile tower crane will be delivered to the site to support construction activities.

The design for the redevelopment reflects the Gunnedah landscape and includes contemporary, calming, and welcoming spaces that have been designed in consultation with staff and the local community.

Construction is expected to be completed in late 2025.

The redevelopment is being delivered by Health Infrastructure in partnership with Hunter New England Local Health District and supported by builder Richard Crookes Constructions.

Gunnedah Hospital Redevelopment has reached a significant construction milestone with the first major concrete pour.

Minister for Regional Health, Ryan Park, said the pour was a construction milestone for the project.

“This redevelopment will provide contemporary facilities for patients and staff to meet the healthcare needs of the community now and into the future,” Mr Park said.

“Importantly hospital services will continue to be maintained during the construction period, and I thank staff, patients and visitors for their patience while the construction is occurring.”
