Cobram Campus Redevelopment Update

min read • November 2024

NCN Health Cobram Redevelopment is ongoing, with the final stages of construction taking place in November and December.

The front car park is currently being resurfaced which is expected to take another 3 weeks. Once completed parking will be accessible as normal in this area. For those needing to access x-ray and ultrasound, or visitors to the hospital, parking is available on O’Dwyer Ave. Urgent Care Parking is available on Broadway street and also O’Dwyer Ave.

Internal and external renovation continues with the remodelling of 2 patient rooms and ensuites, a new ultrasound room, a new reception desk area for the acute ward entrance and additional office and staff space.

The front façade of the building including the original ‘Lisieux’ signage is being rendered in part and retouched.

New firewalls are currently being installed and main reception will be refurbished to compliment the renovations. This includes new flooring and repainting. Signage will also be erected internally and externally around the Cobram Campus and landscaping plans to finish the redevelopment are being reviewed and finalised.

NCN Health Director of Operations, Justin Sullivan said the Cobram Campus Urgent Care Centre and acute ward redevelopment is on budget and on time, however there have been general building delays along the way due to availability of materials and availability of trades.

“There have been no major issues that have greatly impacted our timelines. We have had to structure the build so we could still run the health service during the construction, including urgent care, acute ward and x-ray and ultrasound. This means blocking off some areas while still allowing access to patients and critically, maintaining patient safety.”

“During construction there has been a number of changes to access and parking and we really appreciate the patience and support of the community as we worked through these changes. The updated facilities are an excellent addition to the health service for both our staff and our community.”
