Central Sydney is to receive a new ambulance ‘superstation’ as part of a program to allocate stations across the city.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian unveiled the plans for the Central Sydney Ambulance Station, saying the state-of-the-art building would be at the site of the former Coroners Court in Glebe.
“For the first time in more than 15 years, Sydney is benefiting from modern, purpose-built ambulance stations, with nine already completed as part of the Sydney Ambulance Metropolitan Infrastructure Strategy program,” Ms Berejiklian said.
Commissioner of NSW Ambulance, Dominic Morgan said the Central Sydney superstation would be the last of 11 new ambulance stations to be built as part of the paramedic response network.
“Our paramedics do a fantastic job servicing their local communities from state-of-the-art infrastructure and I expect the new central Sydney station to continue our distinguished tradition of excellence in care for local communities,” Dr Morgan said
He said nine new ambulance superstations had already been built and construction of a new superstation at Randwick and a new ambulance station at Mona Vale were underway.
Minister for Health, Brad Hazzard said the new central superstation was another step forward in the transformation of Sydney’s ambulance service.
Mr Hazzard said the superstation home base would enable paramedics to improve response times and continue to provide high-quality care to the community.
