Designs for the redevelopment of Northman Health Service have been unveiled.
The redevelopment will include a new main entrance, an outpatient centre for child health, mental health and occupational therapy services, specialist consulting rooms, an upgraded and expanded emergency department, ambulance bay and surgical and sterilising departments as well as new renal and expanded chemotherapy services.
Bateman Architects and Hames Sharley joint venture have worked with the existing buildings and surrounding architecture in Northam to ensure the additions complement rather than compete with one another.
The upgraded facility will provide the community with modernised as well as new health services close to home, reducing the need for people in the region to travel long distances for treatment in metropolitan areas.
Construction scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2016 and is part of the Southern Inland Health Initiative, supported by the State Government's Royalties for Regions program (external site).
