Tender Released For New Bicheno Ambulance Station
The Tasmanian Government is continuing to deliver the infrastructure we need to support Ambulance Tasmania to deliver vital services to our community.
The new Bicheno Ambulance Station has taken another important step forward, with the construction tender released today.
This represents a major milestone in delivering improved facilities for local paramedics and volunteers, and improved services for Bicheno and surrounding East Coast communities.
Following extensive public consultation, a new development application for the station at 17 Sinclair Street was approved by the Glamorgan Spring Bay Council in January 2025.
Minister for Health, Jacquie Petrusma, said the new Bicheno Ambulance Station will house Ambulance Tasmania’s needs for the area at a single location in a purpose-built facility.
“The design includes a drive-through garage with designated infection control areas, training facilities for both paramedics and volunteers, designated ambulance cleaning facilities, and separate accommodation for volunteer ambulance officers while on shift,” Minister Petrusma said.
“We are building even more new ambulance stations in Snug, Legana, King Island and Cygnet as part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future.”
Construction of the new Bicheno Ambulance Station is expected to begin in mid-2025 and be completed within 12 months.
