October 24, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Work will begin soon on an $860,000 project at Cherbourg Hospital to provide modern consultation rooms for women and children, part of $1.5 million worth of upgrades scheduled at the hospital over the next six months.<\/p>\n

The renovations of a vacant building will result in two purpose-built clinical consultation rooms.<\/p>\n

Work on the new “Place of Healing” will begin next month following the awarding of the contract to Glen David Constructions Pty Ltd of Dalby.<\/p>\n

Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service South Burnett Cluster Operations Manager Peta Rutherford said that currently women\u2019s and children\u2019s services were \u00a0provided out of a small outbuilding called the “hut”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe building is aged, in need of repair and the space is not functional,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is also insufficient space in the \u2018hut\u2019 to run the obstetric clinic which is currently run from the hospital\u2019s outpatients area.<\/p>\n

\u201cA fully functional, fit-for-purpose building for the Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Service is a key\u00a0strategy to improving health outcomes for the Cherbourg community, especially those most at\u00a0risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project is expected to extend the \u2018useful life\u2019 of the building by a further 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funding has also been provided by the State Government through its Backlog Maintenance\u00a0and Remediation Program to complete a number of other projects at Cherbourg Hospital in the\u00a0next six months.<\/p>\n

These include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Refurbishment of bathroom facilities in the women\u2019s and men\u2019s wards, including\u00a0replacement of all fittings and vinyl as well as some modification of current design. The\u00a0outcome will be modernised bathrooms with improved disability access. Estimated cost\u00a0of works $190,000.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Renovation of the kitchen including replacing flooring, ceilings and wall linings with\u00a0modern, easy-to-clean products. Estimated cost of works $300,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • External painting of the main hospital building is currently underway to improve the\u00a0overall hospital appearance as well as maintain the condition of the building\u00a0infrastructure. Estimated cost of works $175,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
