Project Description

Barraba Health Service provides hospital care, aged care and community health services to the Shire of Barraba, a rural community located just over an hour north of Tamworth. The Hospital dates originally from the early 1900s and has had a number of additions over the years. The structure and its services are no longer adequate, particularly in the aged care section of the Hospital.

The Capworks Group was appointed as Project Manager for the redevelopment, commencing the project planning process in late 2001 with construction completed in 2003.

The new centre will include six acute beds, one of which is a larger special care room, and sixteen high care aged rooms, all with ensuites.

Extensive alterations and refurbishment of the existing buildings, requiring complex staging, includes extending the Community Health Service accommodation, relocating the hospital’s administration and upgrading the emergency department. Barraba Ambulance Station is also being re-located to the Hospital site.
