Construction will commence in June and is expected to be completed late this year.
Murrumbidgee Local Health District chief executive Jill Ludford said Zauner Construction Pty Limited was awarded the contract after a competitive tender process.
“The new purpose-built onsite staff accommodation units will support the staffing and operations of the health service,” she said.
The scope of the project includes three one-bedroom units, each with self-contained facilities such as a kitchenette, ensuite and laundry.
The works will include improvements to the rear laneway, which provides access to the health facility’s back-of-house services and staff parking.
One of the staff accommodation units has a ramp to increase accessibility and support people with mobility needs.
Three staff car parking spaces will be built as part of the project.
The units will be co-located on the Tocumwal MPS site.
The Tocumwal MPS redevelopment project was officially opened in June 2017.
The MPS redevelopment project at Tocumwal delivered an extension of the existing building for a new inpatient wing, reconfiguration and refurbishment of the existing residential aged care and inpatient areas to provide additional residential aged care beds and a lounge area for families and carers.
The project is being delivered as part of the NSW Government’s $297 million Multipurpose Service program to provide health and aged care services for small and remote rural communities.
