An artist's impression showcasing the new ambulance station at Lisarow has been unveiled, providing a first look at the modern, purpose-built health facility that will soon bolster emergency and mobile medical care for Central Coast communities.
The new Lisarow ambulance station located at 60 Railway Crescent, Lisarow, is part of the NSW Government's $615.5 million NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program, which will deliver 30 additional ambulance stations and support paramedic infrastructure over the coming years.
The new ambulance station will significantly enhance emergency care capacity, and support paramedics to deliver timely and high-quality emergency and mobile medical care to local communities on the central coast.
The purpose-built ambulance station will include internal parking for up to 10 emergency ambulance vehicles, a dedicated vehicle wash bay, a multipurpose area for paramedics, a gym, meeting and training rooms, administration areas, logistics and storage facilities, and on-site parking.
With excellent access to the major road network, the site is ideally situated to complement existing ambulance stations in the network and will help meet the growing health needs of the region.
The planning and design stage for the new Lisarow ambulance station is nearing completion. Construction is expected to begin this year, following planning approval and the appointment of building contractor.
Across the Central Coast, new stations are also planned at Berkeley Vale, Kincumber and Berowra. The community will continue to be updated as planning progresses.
The Minns Labor 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.
