Western District Health Service Hamilton Base Hospital Redevelopment

The redevelopment of the Hamilton Base Hospital (HBH) emergency, intensive care and radiology departments will ensure high quality clinical services are provided to the Southern Grampians Shire community for years to come.

Current and future patient numbers are expected to rise and the existing facilities are considered sub-optimal to meet the evolving clinical service demands.

WDHS is renowned as an innovative leader and for the delivery of service excellence - this is not considered sustainable with the current infrastructure.

Council is seeking a commitment from the State Government to fund a $44m redevelopment at HBH.

The existing area supporting these services occupies a floor area of 686m2. The new building consists of a single story structure, located at Foster Street Hamilton and will increase the total footprint to 2,159m2.

In recognition of their commitment to this project, the WDHS Board of Directors is contributing $2m to the redevelopment.

This flagship local project will transform the services offered at WDHS and create a lasting legacy for the local community.
