Ambulance Station Upgrades

94 94Mrs HURN (Schubert) (12 September 2023). Can you explain why an additional $20 million has been allocated to the new Campbelltown, Mount Barker, Gawler and Victor Harbor ambulance stations?

1. What are the timelines for each project?

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

The additional funding was allocated to ensure that fit-for-purpose facilities could be built to accommodate the Malinauskas Labor government's commitment for new ambos.

Mount Barker, Gawler and Victor Harbor will now have rebuilt stations in separate locations that will be both futureproofed to accommodate additional crewing, and because they are more operationally suitable to respond to community demand and meet response times targets.

Timelines for each project have already been announced publicly.
