Southern NSW Local Health District Chief Executive Margaret Bennett said the completion of work at the front of the hospital means there will be changes to the way the community access the hospital.
“The opening of the main entrance and car park is another exciting step in the delivery of the Goulburn Hospital and Health Service redevelopment, and we are all looking forward to welcoming the community,” Ms Bennett said.
“From 9 December 2022, all patients and visitors to Goulburn Base Hospital, except for people attending the Emergency Department (ED) and medical imaging, should access the hospital from the newly opened main entry.”
The main entry is located on the ground level of the Goulburn Base Hospital, off Goldsmith Street and up the external stairs from the ED entrance.
“Emergency patients and medical imaging outpatients should continue to access the Hospital from the existing ED entrance, located on the lower ground floor level of the Goulburn Base Hospital’s Clinical Service Building, off Goldsmith Street,” Ms Bennett said.
The new main entry car park will open at the same time for staff, patients and visitors to Goulburn Base Hospital. This includes:
- 26 new public car park spaces, including four dedicated disabled and limited mobility car spaces
- 10 parking spaces for on-call medical officers
- a semi-circular driveway for patient drop-off and pick-ups.
The ED car park off Goldsmith Street remains available for all emergency patients and medical imaging outpatients.
Dedicated disability and mobility parking spaces are available in the ED car park as well as patient drop-offs and pick-ups. Parking time limits are in place.
