A virtual tour is giving the community a look through the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital, which is set to transform healthcare services from Batemans Bay to Narooma. The fly-through video provides a virtual tour of the hospital and surrounds, bringing to life the new, state-of-the-art, purpose-built regional hospital. The community were provided with an opportunity to view the fly-through at dedicated online forums where the hospital’s schematic design floor plans showing the layout of the hospital departments, were also be on display. The floorplans and hospital design has been informed by extensive feedback from the community with health professionals, staff, patients, Aboriginal community representatives and the local community getting involved. The first and important step in the early works construction program will commence in early 2023 and involves Aboriginal archaeological works, which will be managed through a separate planning approval process. The Eurobodalla Regional Hospital project team is continuing to work closely with the Aboriginal community as well as the Cobowra Local Aboriginal Land Council and other Registered Aboriginal Parties in preparation for this important work. The project’s State Significant Development Application is being updated to reflect this commitment and will be resubmitted in January 2023, with construction expected to boost skills and employment opportunities across the region. The hospital is expected to open to patients in 2025.
