The new Bicheno Ambulance Station build has taken another step forward, with the construction tender released today by the Tasmanian Government.
Following extensive public consultation, a new development application for the station at 17 Sinclair Street was approved by the Glamorgan Spring Bay Council in January.
Minister for Health, Jacquie Petrusma said the new station will house Ambulance Tasmania’s needs for the area at a single location in a purpose-built facility.
“The design includes a drive-through garage with designated infection control areas, training facilities for both paramedics and volunteers, designated ambulance cleaning facilities, and separate accommodation for volunteer ambulance officers while on shift,” Minister Petrusma said.
“We are building even more new ambulance stations in Snug, Legana, King Island and Cygnet as part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future.”
Construction of the new Bicheno Ambulance Station is expected to begin in mid-2025 and be completed within 12 months.
