Popular Stories

A NEW multi-million-dollar ambulance station on McDonald’s Road, Epping is one step closer to being built after Bowden Corporation was announced last week as the construction company to lead the project.

Minister for Health Martin Foley and Member for Mill Park Lily D’Ambrosio made the joint announcement, sharing that construction should commence in the near future.

“With shovels expected to be in the ground shortly, even better emergency care for Epping families is just around the corner,” Ms D’Ambrosio said.

“This modern and advanced ambulance station will help ensure families living in the booming northern suburbs receive the best lifesaving emergency care, now and into the future.”

The new 24-hour, two-storey ambulance station will feature a five-bay garage for ambulances, six rest and recline areas for paramedics to recuperate, training facilities, a fully-equipped kitchen and improved security and car parking to make sure paramedics are safe.

The project will involve knocking down and rebuilding the existing ambulance station on McDonald’s Road to provide new, modern amenities.

Delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority, construction is expected to get underway shortly once paramedics from the Epping are relocated to a temporary accommodation.

The State Government is investing approximately $249 million to upgrade and rebuild ambulance stations and provide better working conditions for paramedics.
