Latest designs released for Gunnedah Hospital Redevelopment as next phase of building begins

Major construction is underway for the $53 million Gunnedah Hospital Redevelopment, which will deliver enhanced health facilities for the region.  

The Gunnedah Hospital Redevelopment includes construction of a new acute services building, housing an expanded emergency department and a modern birthing, maternity, and inpatient unit, which will support contemporary models of care.

New artist’s impressions for the redevelopment have been released, including the inpatient bedrooms to be delivered, which feature a carer’s zone and large windows with views of the landscaped courtyards.

The interior design reflects the Gunnedah landscape and includes contemporary, calming, and welcoming spaces that have been designed in consultation with staff and the local community.

Early works have been completed including demolition to prepare the site for the next stage of construction. The hospital main entry and reception has also been refurbished to improve access for patients and visitors.

Construction is expected to be completed in late 2025, and hospital services will continue to operate throughout the construction period.

The redevelopment is being delivered by Health Infrastructure in partnership with the Hunter New England Local Health District and supported by builder Richard Crookes Constructions.

Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park:

“As this exciting project takes shape, the community can expect to see an increasing number of builders onsite in the coming months.

“The new artist’s impressions showcase a health facility that will provide contemporary facilities for patients and a better workplace for staff.”

Labor Spokesperson for Tamworth Anthony D’Adam MLC:

“The design for the new facility has been developed following extensive consultation with staff, consumers, carers, community members and the local Aboriginal community.

“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.”
