Shire of Ashburton is Pleased with the State Government's Appointment of Contractor for Tom Price and Paraburdoo Hospitals

The Shire of Ashburton is pleased to support the announcement from the State Government to appoint Cooper & Oxley through an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) process for the upcoming Tom Price and Paraburdoo hospitals project.

This ECI process will enable the contractor to work collaboratively with stakeholders early in the project, providing detailed input on design and construction plans to ensure high-quality, fit-for-purpose facilities that meet community needs. Geotechnical and ground survey work at the Tom Price site will commence soon, laying the groundwork for future development.

President Smith welcomes the State Government’s decision and is optimistic that the value engineering process and thorough planning will deliver the essential hospital services that the community needs.

“The Shire will support this project with the land necessary for its success. We urge the State Government to consider the ECI process as a priority in the coming months and we hope to see the design for the hospital in the new year, reflecting our community’s needs,” said President Smith.

The Shire will continue to work with the State Government and other partners to ensure this critical infrastructure project meets the highest standards for the Ashburton community.
