The local community’s interest in the construction of the new Byron Central Hospital is greatly appreciated.

There was strong attendance at the open day at the Ewingsdale site on Sunday 28 June, with keen interest shown in the progress of the $88 million project.

After several weeks on display in Mullumbimby, the large scale-model of the new hospital can now be viewed at Byron District Hospital, and those interested are invited to come in for an inspection.

For regular updates on the project please see the link on the Northern NSW Local Health District website at http://nnswlhd.health.nsw.gov.au/about/hospitals/byron-central-hospital-development/
