A major investment

The Lismore Base Hospital redevelopment is a major investment in local health services.

Delivered in stages, the project will feature a range of new and upgraded services to meet the growing needs of the local community.

Construction of the new 12-storey South Tower was completed in July 2016 with construction of the four-storey North Tower expected to commence mid-2018.

The Lismore Base Hospital redevelopment will result in modern new facilities for patients, visitors and staff.

Officially opened in November 2016, Stage 3a features a new and expanded Emergency Department, a new Renal Unit, and a new mortuary.

The recently completed South Tower will contain a new Women's Care Unit, a new Paediatric Unit, more medical imaging services, new Theatres and cardiac care unit, as well as a range of other inpatient units. Internal fit-out will feature staged openings of the levels from early 2017 through to mid 2018.

New car park from Dalziel Street

New car park

A new multi-storey car park was constructed in Uralba Street as part of the Lismore Base Hospital 3a redevelopment.

This alleviated the historical parking pressures on and around the local streets in the hospital precinct.

The new car park comprises 270 spaces over five levels. It opened July 2016.

Construction underway

Construction is well underway for the Lismore Base Hospital redevelopment.

Stage 3A construction began in mid-2014 and was completed in July 2016. Stage 3B/3C construction is continuing through until mid 2020 when North Tower will be completed.

Overall redevelopment completion is due in 2021.

Stage 3c announced

Stage 3c comprises the construction of an additional four floors to the North Tower (Levels 7 to 10), which will be fully integrated into the North Tower's existing planned floors (Levels 3 to 6).

Construction of Stage 3c is scheduled to be completed mid-2021.
