Car park to close from Monday
VISITORS to the Warrnambool Base hospital are reminded that the underground car park will be closed from next Monday, May 5.
The car park, on Timor Street, will be closed from Monday “for an extended period” to support the much-needed hospital redevelopment.
To help ease the impact, South West Healthcare this week announced it had created 70 free, all-day car parks on Merri Street.
A further 30 dedicated outpatient carparks can also be found opposite the main entrance on Ryot Street.
It is anticipated the underground car park will be closed for the next two years while the $384.2 million redevelopment of the hospital takes place.
The outpatient parking spaces are available for anyone attending outpatient clinics, haemodialysis appointments and community health appointments.
As part of the hospital redevelopment, an additional level will be added to the existing multi-deck car park on Ryot Street.
This will provide up to 50 additional parking spaces.
The staff shuttle bus service will continue to operate between the Warrnambool Showgrounds and the Warrnambool hospital.
This initiative is helping support the healthcare’s workforce, freeing up parking closer to the hospital for patients and visitors.
