An artist's impression of the design for the new Warilla Ambulance Station has been unveiled, providing the community a first look at the planned facility.
The new ambulance station will be located near the Warilla Community Health Centre and is being delivered as part of the NSW Government's $615.5 million NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program to bolster frontline emergency services.
The modern, purpose-built facility will support local paramedics with contemporary workspaces, improved operational capacity and infrastructure designed to meet the needs of the region's growing community.
The new artist's impression, showcasing the station's façade, marks the latest milestone in the delivery of the new ambulance station.
NSW Ambulance identified Warilla as a high priority location following a comprehensive service planning process that analysed Triple Zero (000) demand and ambulance response requirements across the Illawarra region. The station's location includes direct access to Lake Entrance Road for emergency ambulances.
Planning and design work will continue this year, and the community will continue to be kept informed as the station progresses to construction.
The NSW Government's NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program will deliver 30 new ambulance stations and supporting infrastructure across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, the Hunter and Illawarra regions over the coming years.
This new station at Warilla will complement other ambulance infrastructure investments across the region, including the planned Moss Vale and Unanderra ambulance stations, and the recently completed Fairy Meadow Ambulance Station.
This is part of the Minns Labor Government's plan to rebuild our frontline workforce including by delivering a historic pay increase for our paramedics and recruiting an additional 500 paramedics in rural and regional areas.
