First major concrete pour for Gunnedah project

SHARE

The $53 million Gunnedah Hospital Redevelopment has reached a significant construction milestone with the first major concrete pour for the new acute services building.  
 
The Gunnedah Hospital Redevelopment will deliver a new acute services building, housing an expanded emergency department and a modern birthing, maternity, and inpatient unit, that will enhance healthcare and support contemporary models of care.
 
Construction is progressing on site, including the demolition of the former maternity wing and daycare centre, and earthworks and piling, setting the foundation for the concrete base. 
 
The foundation for the new acute services building will total nearly 500 cubic metres delivered in multiple concrete pours across the site.
 
Soon, a mobile tower crane will be delivered to the site to support construction activities. 
 
The design for the redevelopment reflects the Gunnedah landscape and includes contemporary, calming, and welcoming spaces that have been designed in consultation with staff and the local community.
 
Construction is expected to be completed in late 2025.
