Patients, visitors and staff accessing Tweed Valley Hospital now have more car parking options, following the recent completion of more than 125 new car parking spaces on the hospital campus. New signage, line marking, and enhanced parking management systems have also been delivered as part of the project.
The new parking spaces are located to the south of the multi-level car park and along the ring road on the northern boundary of the hospital campus.
The $723.3 million Tweed Valley Hospital opened to patients in May 2024 and has transformed the delivery of healthcare in the region.
Since opening, the new hospital has expanded its health services, including interventional cardiology and radiotherapy. Outpatient services have also more than doubled in capacity, allowing residents to access services locally without needing to travel outside the region.
The additional parking was delivered by the Northern NSW Local Health District, in partnership with Health Infrastructure.
