Moss Vale and surrounding communities are being given a first look at the design for the new Moss Vale Ambulance Station which will boost emergency and mobile medical care across the Southern Highlands.
The new Ambulance Station will be located on Lackey Road, Moss Vale and is part of the NSW Government’s $615.5 million NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program, to bolster frontline emergency services.
The modern, purpose-built ambulance station will include internal parking for up to eight emergency ambulance vehicles, on-site vehicle wash facilities, administration and logistics areas, multipurpose spaces, staff amenities including a gym, and on-site parking.
Construction is expected to begin later this year, following planning approval and the appointment of a building contractor.
NSW Ambulance identified Moss Vale as a high priority location following a comprehensive service planning process using best practice modelling software to map Triple Zero (000) calls. The new ambulance station will optimise response performance to better meet the emergency and mobile medical care needs of the local community.
The Minns Government is delivering 30 new ambulance stations and supporting infrastructure across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, the Hunter and Illawarra regions over the coming years.
The Minns Government is recruiting 2,500 additional NSW Ambulance staff including 500 paramedics to rural and regional areas, to boost emergency and mobile healthcare for our metropolitan and regional communities.
