The scope and budget for the future Blue Mountains Hospital project will be defined in the early planning stages.

In addition, Health Infrastructure and NBMLHD are focusing on crucial upgrades to the existing hospital to support healthcare staff in delivering optimal care and improving patient experiences.

Consultations with local health staff and clinicians are ongoing to highlight the necessary improvements for the current hospital.

Upgrades are already in progress, including work on the hospital’s roof and the Central Sterilising Services Department, with more maintenance and enhancements set to follow.

Blue Mountains member Trish Doyle said: “While this planning work is carried out, I look forward to seeing construction progress on the upgrades to the hospital’s roof and Central Sterilising Services Department in the coming months.”

The NSW government will also allocate A$1.7m to upgrade hospitals and health facilities to serve North Coast communities.

Regional Health Minister Ryan Park has announced that, as a component of the Minns Labour Government’s A$12m Regional Health Minor Works Program, several projects will take place in the Northern NSW Local Health District.
