NSW Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said: “This is an exciting milestone for the redevelopment which will deliver enhanced healthcare services and facilities for the Gunnedah community.

“All hospital services will continue to operate onsite during construction, which follows significant planning and design work by the project team, in collaboration with staff, stakeholders and the community.

“It’s great to hear the construction team will be on site from later this month to commence early works which will include the establishment of some temporary service locations.”

The redevelopment project involves the construction of a new acute services building, which will comprise an expanded emergency department and a modern birthing, maternity and inpatient unit.
