TUMUT HOSPITAL REDEVELOPMENT
NEWSLETTER: NOVEMBER 2019
Landscape vision
Along with the design and lay-out of clinical spaces, the approval process and preparations for construction, work is underway in Tumut to shape the landscape of the new Hospital.
A landscape working group was formed mid 2019 and now includes representatives of the local Aboriginal community, Hospital Auxiliary, staff and neighbours.
Landscape architects from the company, Site Image
have met with the working group at Coo-ee Cottage
on a number of occasions to discuss hospital
grounds landscape design, planting and screening
options and other issues related to the
Redevelopment.
Areas to be landscaped include the main entry
courtyard; cultural courtyard; Indigenous ceremony
space; rehabilitation courtyard, labyrinth courtyard;
patient area off patient lounge and external to the
quiet room/family room; staff specific areas and
Lambie Street screening services.
The group is looking at a range of plantings including
locally significant plants such as Tumut Wattle
(Acacia pravissima) and Kurrajong Tree
(Brachychiton populneus) which are traditionally
used for Indigenous ceremonies and sensory
plantings within therapeutic courtyards. A variety of
materials such as re-used hospital bricks and local
stone are proposed within the landscaped areas.
The landscape working group will continue to meet
as the Redevelopment project progresses in 2020.

TUMUT HOSPITAL REDEVELOPMENT
NEWSLETTER: NOVEMBER 2019
The Redevelopment project team has
provided updates to various groups in Tumut
during 2019.
If your organisation would like an update in
2020, please send an email:
Surgery facilities
The $50 million Tumut Hospital Redevelopment will
provide facilities to support both day surgery
procedures as well as surgeries requiring admission
into an Inpatient Unit.
The project includes one operating theatre, and an
expanded number of recovery spaces. As part of the
Redevelopment, the recovery bays will be co-located
within the operating suite.
These extra recovery spaces and the improved
design will support additional capacity for day
surgeries. The Inpatient Unit will be flexible in design
and support a number of different patient cohorts,
including patients who require medical, surgical,
palliative, maternity and rehabilitation care.
Patients at hospitals in the Murrumbidgee Local
Health District requiring further emergency or
specialist treatment are referred to the most
appropriate facility for further care. Find out more
