Shire of Ashburton President Audra Smith and Premier Cook Forge Partnership to Streamline Tom Price and Paraburdoo Hospital Projects

Earlier this week, Shire President Audra Smith and the Honourable Roger Cook met, further solidifying the partnership between the Shire of Ashburton and the State Government to streamline the delivery of the new Tom Price and Paraburdoo Hospitals.

President Smith is committed to delivering these critical projects for the Ashburton community.

“We know that the construction and delivery of much-needed health infrastructure come with unique challenges in the Shire of Ashburton. That's why I am pleased to be working in partnership with the Premier to address these challenges and meet the needs of our community.

“The Shire of Ashburton acknowledges Rio Tinto’s generous contribution to these projects and recognises the importance of quality health services in attracting and retaining families and essential workers across our Shire.

“When State and Local Government work together, we can achieve a great deal for the people we serve. I would like to once again thank the Premier for his support in delivering these vital pieces of health infrastructure and for listening to our community,” said President Smith.

A contract is expected to be awarded in November 2024, with works on the Tom Price Hospital to commence soon after.
