Residents of Temora and surrounding communities are invited to view and provide feedback on the Temora Health Service Redevelopment planning documents, with the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) now on public exhibition until Friday, 2 May 2025.
The $95 million investment in the Temora Health Service Redevelopment will deliver a new health service building which will integrate health services under one roof to support contemporary models of care and enhance accessibility for consumers.
The REF and hospital designs have been informed by extensive consultation with staff, stakeholders and the community, including through information sessions on the design, held last year.
The redevelopment includes construction of a new single-storey building, which will house an expanded medical imaging unit, including new ultrasound and CT services.
New courtyards will be created offering direct outdoor access from key areas including the inpatient lounge, birthing room, rehabilitation gymnasium, staff room and reception area. New landscaped seating areas will provide a welcoming and supportive space for patients, staff and visitors.
Improved car parking for visitors and a separate emergency vehicle entry to improve access is also planned to be included as part of the design.
Construction is expected to start in late-2025, following the planning approval and the appointment of a building contractor.
The REF and supporting technical documents is available here: https://www.hinfra.health.nsw.gov.au/projects/on-exhibition
Feedback can be provided until 11.59pm on Friday, 2 May 2025.
Murrumbidgee Local Health District and Health Infrastructure will continue to work with community stakeholders and staff to ensure the $95 million redevelopment meets the future health needs of the growing Temora community.
