Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington says it is now easier for families to move between buildings at the Nanango Hospital now that walkway upgrades have been completed.
Mrs Frecklington said more than $380,000 of construction works had been carried out including the replacement of an external covered walkway, resealing the car park and upgrading the outdoor seating area for patients.
“The new concrete-based walkway, which links the main hospital building to the administration building, replaced a disability access ramp and will make it easier for people to use,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“New lighting and stormwater drainage was installed along the walkway and part of the walkway has been enclosed along a section which is susceptible to strong westerly winds.
“Substantial landscaping works are due for completion at the end of August to improve the outdoor amenities for patients with a refurbished pergola and a new three-tier retaining wall.”
Minister for Housing and Public Works Tim Mander said the work delivered on the Queensland Government’s election promise to provide better infrastructure and planning.
“These works will provide easier access to the hospital and a more pleasant environment for patients and staff,” Mr Mander said.
