Construction of Fairy Meadow’s new ambulance station is on track for completion, with local paramedics soon to be handed the keys to the new purpose-built ambulance station.
Fairy Meadows first ambulance station will be co-located at the University of Wollongongs Innovation Campus and is being delivered as part of the NSW Governments $232 million Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration (RAIR) program.
The new facility will bolster mobile emergency health care for communities across the Illawarra and provide paramedics with the latest facilities and equipment. The modern ambulance station will feature internal parking bays, an internal wash bay, administration and office areas, staff rest facilities, gym, logistics and storage areas and on-site parking.
With construction almost complete, landscaping and other finishing touches will be underway in the coming months. Finalising the IT infrastructure and cabling systems will be a priority during this time to ensure seamless connectivity and functionality for the new ambulance to operate effectively.
