Works for the new Tom Price Hospital are on track, with land now officially secured in Tom Price.
The new hospital will provide much-needed healthcare upgrades for the Tom Price community, including residents and visitors. The upgrades will feature a modern emergency department, private interview and consulting rooms and a four-bed inpatient ward, significantly improving access to quality healthcare in the region.
President Smith welcomed the announcement, stating,
"This is a long-awaited day for the Tom Price community. Securing land for the new hospital brings us one step closer to turning the sod and beginning construction. The upgraded facilities will be life changing for healthcare in our region and we look forward to seeing this essential project come to life," she said.
Following the State Government’s announcement in early July that a tender would be issued in August, we anticipate the contract to be awarded in November 2024. Construction of the Tom Price Hospital is expected to begin shortly after, with the Paraburdoo Hospital redevelopment also in progress.
The Shire of Ashburton is excited to work with the State Government to deliver these vital health services to the community.
