The Moree Hospital Redevelopment has reached a major milestone, with the new two-storey acute services building reaching its highest point and the roof now complete.
The Minns Government’s $105 million investment in the Moree Hospital Redevelopment will deliver a new acute services building, an emergency department, ambulance bay, operating theatre, medical imaging, birthing, inpatient unit, pathology, kiosk and main entrance.
The new acute services building will support contemporary models of care and provide patients, families and carers a modern health facility to help meet the health needs of the community now and into the future.
Almost 3 kilometres of roofing battens and 2,900 square metres of roof sheeting was installed to complete the roof of the new acute services building.
This milestone follows the completion of groundworks and concrete pours for the redevelopment, which included more than 3,000 tonnes of fill and over 2,000 cubic metres of concrete poured, highlighting the significant activity under way across site.
With most of the structural works now complete, work will progress on the internal fit-out of the new building and exterior façade.
As part of the redevelopment, the Crane and Glennie Building was recently demolished to create a new courtyard that will connect the new acute services building to the existing hospital buildings. The landscaped courtyard will enhance campus connectivity, while creating a welcoming and accessible space for patients, visitors and staff to enjoy.
The redevelopment is being delivered by Health Infrastructure in partnership with Hunter New England Local Health District and builder, Hutchinson Builders.
Construction on the redevelopment is expected to be completed in 2027.
