After extensive consultation with staff, patients and other key stakeholders, the project team is pleased to release the detailed designs for the redevelopment. New artist impressions have been unveiled providing a look inside the new facility.
The first artist’s impression shows an example of a single bedroom with a carer zone and large window to allow in natural light. There are a mix of single and double bedrooms all with ensuite. The second artist’s impression is the emergency department showing the staff zone in the centre and the paediatric bay in the background.
The redevelopment will deliver a new acute services building, housing an expanded emergency department and a modern birthing, maternity, and inpatient unit, that will support contemporary models of care.
The interior design reflects the Gunnedah landscape and includes contemporary, calming, and welcoming spaces that have been designed with the local community in mind. Highlight windows will allow natural light into clinical areas and each ward will have a direct and close visual connection to the landscaped courtyards. There will also be breakout spaces for family, carers and visitors, which will provide areas for families to stay on Country to further support the health and healing of those in need of clinical care.
Construction is expected to be completed in late 2025, and hospital services will continue to operate throughout the construction period.
