The community is being invited to view and provide feedback on the Glen Innes Hospital Redevelopment planning documents, with the Review of Environmental Factors on public exhibition.
The NSW Government is investing $50 million in the Glen Innes Hospital Redevelopment to deliver new and enhanced healthcare infrastructure for Glen Innes and the surrounding community.
This is part of the Minns Labor Government's $3.5 billion investment over four years for regional hospital upgrades across NSW.
The redevelopment will deliver a new acute services building on the existing hospital campus, housing an expanded emergency department, medical imaging ambulance drop-off and bays, and mortuary.
There will also be a new main entry to the hospital from Ferguson Street, enhancing access to health services for patients, carers and visitors, with a convenient drop-off area located outside the new hospital building.
The community is being encouraged to attend community information sessions where they can meet the project team, provide feedback and learn more about the $50 million hospital redevelopment: The following information sessions are scheduled:
- Wednesday, 5 November 2025 - 1.00pm to 6.00pm Glen Innes Hospital Lecture Room (top floor)
- Thursday, 6 November 2025 - 8.00am to 1.00pm Highlands Hub, 167 Grey Street
Feedback on the planning documents can be provided online until 11:59pm on Monday, 10 November 2025.
The REF planning documents and supporting technical documents are available to view at Glen Innes Hospital Redevelopment.
An updated fly-through animation of the new hospital building has also been released, providing the community with a more detailed look inside the new acute services building, including the planned interiors and finishes.
Construction timeframes will be confirmed following planning approvals and the appointment of a building contractor.
Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2026 and the community will continue to be updated as the project progresses.
Further information on the redevelopment is available by visiting the project website: Glen Innes Hospital Redevelopment.
