Expressions of Interest are being sought for suitable sites on the Central Coast to build two new ambulance stations as part of the NSW Government’s $615.5M NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program.
The NSW Government is delivering 30 additional ambulance stations and more than 2,500 additional staff across the state as part of its commitment to boost frontline emergency care for communities.
As part of this program, Health Infrastructure is working with NSW Ambulance and other key stakeholders across government to identify two potential sites on the Central Coast and prioritise delivery.
This includes conducting a thorough land search to identify potential locations that best meet the needs of the community for ambulance operations.
To progress this planning, an Expressions of Interest process for land will be undertaken at 10 locations including Berkeley Vale and Kincumber.
Locations for new stations are determined by NSW Ambulance following a comprehensive service planning process using best practice modelling software which maps Triple Zero calls.
The exact locations of the new stations will be confirmed once the land search and acquisition processes are finalised.
Construction and operational timeframes will be determined as the project planning progresses.
Each year, NSW Ambulance receives more than 1.1 million Triple Zero (000) calls for assistance and vehicles travel more than 46 million kilometres to keep the community safe.
NSW Ambulance provides high quality clinical care, compassion, relief of pain and suffering and rescue and retrieval services to the more than 8.1 million people of NSW.
“The NSW Government is committed to enhancing emergency care for communities across the state,” Member for The Entrance David Mehan said.
“By investing in new ambulance stations, we are ensuring that our frontline services can continue to deliver high-quality care and swift response times.
“This is a vital step in keeping our communities safe and well-supported in times of need.”
