The community is being invited to have their say on the latest designs for the new Batemans Bay Community Health facility.
Minister for Regional Health, Ryan Park, said the Government is investing $20 million to deliver the new community health service to support communities across the Batemans Bay area.
The new facility will be located on the existing Batemans Bay Hospital site next to the newly established Medicare Urgent Care Clinic.
Batemans Bay Community Health Service will provide improved access to a range of services, including:
· Allied health services
· Child, youth and family services
· Women’s health and sexual health services
· Community nursing, wound management and palliative care
· Aboriginal health
· Community mental health and drug and alcohol services.
The facility’s design has been informed by extensive feedback and consultation with health professionals, staff, patients, Aboriginal community representatives and the wider Batemans Bay community.
The artist impressions provide a more detailed look at the new facility, which includes a new building housing a range of health services, as well as carpark, landscaping, pathways and external seating areas.
The community is invited to view the designs and find out more about Batemans Bay Community Health at drop-in sessions with the project team:
· Monday, 17 June, 12pm to 2pm – Village Centre, Batemans Bay
· Tuesday, 18 June, 12pm to 2pm – Corner of Beach Road and Edward Road, Batehaven
Construction for the new facility will start following planning approvals and the appointment of a building contractor.
The Batemans Bay Hospital will continue to provide health care services for the community while the Batemans Bay Community Health and the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital are being built.
