Construction on a new, state-of-the-art Glenorchy ambulance superstation is about to begin, 5 years after first being announced in 2018.
Hansen Yuncken have been awarded the $12.66 million contract to build the station on a greenfield site in Timsbury Road following a request for tender that went out in December.
Designs for the new station show a “contemporary fit-out”, with dedicated staff meeting rooms, facilities, a larger garage and improved access for Ambulance Tasmania staff and visitors.
Acting Minister for Health Michael Ferguson said the new station will house the increasing paramedic workforce and have the capacity to house up to 18 vehicles by 2035.
“The new contemporary station will further support the delivery of life-saving services to Hobart’s northern suburbs and beyond for decades to come,” Ferguson said.
Construction on the station is set to begin in the next two weeks and is expected to be completed by August 2024.
