The old art deco-styled Kingaroy Hospital will soon disappear forever … the foundations of the Boomerang Building are at the front of this photograph<\/figcaption><\/figure> February 26, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

The demolition of the old Kingaroy Hospital building is about to start.<\/p>\n

Darling Downs Health spokesperson Dr Paul Clayton said it would take around four weeks for the full demolition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe skyline in Kingaroy is about to change again with the old two-storey hospital being demolished over the coming weeks,” Dr Clayton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn accredited asbestos removal contractor has been engaged and a hygienist will need to clear the building prior to commencing demolition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“These contractors will continue to monitor throughout the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter everything has been removed from the old hospital area, we will start construction on the new hospital entrance and connect the totally refurbished Boomerang Building with the new hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll also complete the landscaping, seating, and undercover areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople can still access the hospital from the Albert Street entrance with parking still available on-site during construction.”<\/p>\n
