Construction of the Blayney Multipurpose Service (MPS) redevelopment will soon get underway following the appointment of the building contractor to deliver the project, which will enhance access to healthcare for the local community.
The Blayney MPS redevelopment project is being delivered as part of the NSW Government’s $297 million Multipurpose Service Program to deliver health facilities across rural and remote communities.
The new facility will be built on the existing Osman Street site and will have more inpatient beds, increased chair-based services and room for future expansion.
Taylor Construction has been engaged following a competitive tender process to build the new Blayney Multipurpose Service, which will deliver a new purpose-built and modern facility to improve health and aged care services for the people of Blayney.
Taylor Construction is an experienced contractor in the health sector, with recent projects including the Campbelltown Hospital Redevelopment, Freshwater Mental Health Unit within the Long Bay correctional complex, and Bathurst Hospital MRI Imaging Department Extension.
Taylor Construction will reach out to the local community including trades, businesses, and suppliers about opportunities to be involved in construction for the redevelopment.
The contractor has been working closely with the Health Infrastructure, Western NSW Local Health District, Blayney MPS staff, residents and their families, and the local community to finalise the design.
Features of the new MPS include:
A construction timeline will be confirmed once planning for the build progresses, with the community to be kept updated.
