Construcciones Yamaro: Sod turned on Glen Innes Hospital redevelopment
Main works have begun on the $50 million Glen Innes Hospital redevelopment, with health staff, stakeholders, community members and the project team gathering to mark the milestone at a sod turn event.
The project will deliver a new acute services building on the existing hospital campus, housing an expanded emergency department, medical imaging, ambulance drop-off and bays, back-of-house areas, mortuary and a new main entry.
To support construction, a temporary internal access road is being built on the eastern side of the hospital campus. The next phase of works will include the creation of the new ambulance access.
The Glen Innes Hospital will continue to operate as normal during construction, providing care for local and surrounding communities, and will remain as a district hospital networked to Armidale and Tamworth hospitals for access to specialist health services.
Access to the hospital via Taylor Street remains unchanged and will continue to be available during construction. The driveway from Ferguson Street/Gwydir Highway is reserved for ambulance and mortuary access, construction activities and access for the museum volunteers.

NSW Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said the redevelopment would improve healthcare access in the region and provide modern facilities for staff and the community.
“In the coming months, the community will see construction ramp up as the acute services building starts to take shape,” he said. “Importantly, all hospital services will continue to operate as normal during construction, so the community can be assured they will continue to receive the care they need when they need it.”
The project is being delivered by Health Infrastructure in partnership with Hunter New England Local Health District and main works contractor TCQ Construction.
Consultation with staff, the community and stakeholders is continuing to ensure the new hospital building provides a welcoming environment that reflects the region’s heritage and culture.
A community forum was held in April 2026 to provide local businesses with information on opportunities to support and participate in construction on the redevelopment.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2028.
