NSW Community Briefed on Manning Hospital Stage Two
The Taree and Lower Mid-North Coast community is invited to learn more about Stage Two of the Manning Hospital Redevelopment at two drop-in sessions to be held in late July. The sessions were rescheduled from May due to the flooding and severe weather conditions in the region.
The redevelopment forms part of the NSW Government’s $180 million Lower Mid North Coast Health Services project, enhancing health services available for the region.
At the drop-in sessions the community will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the hospital redevelopment.
People are invited to attend the following locations on Wednesday, 30 July:
The redevelopment will deliver a new three-storey inpatient unit, housing contemporary clinical and support services, including an enhanced close observation unit for patients with cardiac disease.
The redevelopment will deliver on priority areas of clinical need and is being built with expansion zones to enable further works to be completed in the future.
Enabling work to prepare the site for construction is already underway, including the demolition of the administration building, as well as relocating two bulk oxygen tanks.
The planning application for the project will be on public exhibition for feedback later this year.
Timeframes for the main works construction will be confirmed once planning has been finalised and a main works builder engaged.
The Lower Mid North Coast Health Services project is being delivered by Health Infrastructure in partnership with Hunter New England Local Health District. Planning continues for health services in Forster-Tuncurry, with community stakeholder consultation currently underway.
