Construction begins on ambulance branches at Ararat, Inglewood and Rochester

Construction has kicked off on a multi-million-dollar ambulance branch on Hospital Street in Inglewood.

The project will involve knocking down the outdated building on the current Inglewood ambulance branch site on Hospital Street. A new, fit for purpose branch will be built in its place.

The new branch will include: 

• a three-bay ambulance garage
• two rest and recline areas
• training facilities
• a fully equipped kitchen
• improved security and car parking for staff.

The new Inglewood ambulance branch is expected to be completed in late 2022.
