Albany Health Campus car park expansion complete

• Albany Health Campus $2 million car park expansion has reached practical completion
• The project sees an additional 100 bays added to the site
• Project is part of the Cook Government's record $4.9 billion investment in health infrastructure, ensuring Western Australians can access the care they need

The $2 million expansion of Albany Health Campus' car park has reached practical completion.

The car park expansion significantly increases the capacity by 100 bays and provides patients, visitors and staff with greater choice of location when accessing services on-site.

The completed project includes new wayfinding, safety bollards, pathways and crosswalks, as well as CCTV and security lighting.

The expanded car park comes ahead of plans for a new 32-bed modular ward at the hospital and follows the recent $4 million upgrade to the special care nursery at Albany Health Campus.

The government is also progressing the 32-bed modular ward expansion of Albany Health Campus and the Meekatharra Hospital redevelopment as a bundled tender.

Upgrades to the Great Southern region's largest hospital are part of the Cook Government's record $4.9 billion investment in health infrastructure - the biggest hospital building program in Western Australian history.

Comments attributed to Health Infrastructure Minister John Carey:

"It's great to see this important project for the Albany community reach practical completion, making the hospital more accessible for patients, families and staff.

"The project has significantly expanded car park capacity, and also includes upgraded lighting and CCTV to support staff and patient safety when accessing hospital services.

"Our government is delivering massive projects as part of our $4.9 billion health infrastructure spend, while also ensuring smaller, but still critically important, works like this expansion are progressed."

Comments attributed to Health Minister Meredith Hammat:

"Albany Health Campus is undergoing some exciting changes to ensure the hospital continues to meet the needs of the community now and into the future.

"This important and timely upgrade to the hospital's car park comes ahead of a planned 32-bed modular ward build, significantly increasing capacity inside the facility.

"It's one of the many projects that form our record $4.9 billion health infrastructure investment, ensuring all Western Australians have access to the healthcare they need, when they need it."
