Co-owner of the proposed Blackbutt Medical Centre complex Jeff Connor \u00a0\u201cseals the deal\u201d with a handshake with master builder Alan Cameron on site at 91 Coulson Street, Blackbutt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 14, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new medical centre at Blackbutt moved a step closer today with the acceptance of a tender to construct the building.<\/p>\n

Jeff Connor, co-owner of the development, and Alan Cameron, owner of Alan Cameron Master Built Homes, Buderim, shook hands at the site when Alan\u2019s tender was accepted.<\/p>\n

“This moment brings the tender process to an end and starts the construction process,” Jeff said.<\/p>\n

“After nearly 18 months of planning, quotes, drawings, specs, engineer\u2019s reports, approvals, permits and emails, this project is now moving another step closer.”<\/p>\n

Project manager Wayne Emms said five builders had tendered for the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of June.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeather permitting, we will start on site early in December with site preparation and fencing in place before Christmas,\u201d Mr Cameron said.<\/p>\n

Mr Emms said the builder would be using local tradespeople for floor coverings, plumbing, cabinet making, excavation and numerous other sub-contracted jobs.<\/p>\n

The new centre will have parking for 16 cars, covered walkways, a three-bed treatment room, six\u00a0consulting rooms, a visiting specialist facility and ‘state of the art’ e-health and teleconferencing facilities.<\/p>\n

When completed, the Blackbutt Pharmacy would re-locate to the front of the centre and an internal door would link both businesses.<\/p>\n

“The new building will allow the team to continue as a medical training facility for University of Queensland medical students and offer highly valued GP Training Post positions for GP Registrars in up-to-date, modern and e:Health ready facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlackbutt is the gateway to the South Burnett and this development is a show of confidence in the development and prosperity of the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

UPDATED November 20: Jeff Connor confirmed today that construction should start in early December.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“All going to plan we should be open with new medical centre and Pharmacy as of July 1. Maybe even earlier.” he said.<\/p>\n
