MAYOR WELCOMES A NEW AMBULANCE STATION

WOLLONDILLY Mayor Matt Gould has welcomed news that that the Wollondilly Shire will soon have a new ambulance station, with the recent purchase of a site at Bargoby the NSW Government.
 
Minister for Health, Ryan Park MP announced that a site had been purchase dat 150 Great Southern Road,after an evaluation by Health Infrastructure and NSW Ambulance. The new Bargo Ambulance Station will be built as part of the Government’s NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program.
 
NSW Ambulance identified Bargo as a high priority location following a comprehensive service planning process,using best practice modelling software to map Triple Zero calls.
 
Mayor Gould said, “Council has been advocating for more ambulance stations and improved services within the Shire for some time, and I am very pleased to see that we are a step closer to having a new ambulance station at Bargo.”
 
“Our frontline paramedics do an amazing job with the resources they have, but they have been spread too thin. Our residents often face significantly long waits for ambulances to arrive, and additional pressure has been placed on the existing stations at Picton and Warragamba with more people moving in to the Wilton state-led growth area. A new ambulance station at Bargo will help address this need.”
 
“I’d like to thank our local member, Judy Hannan MP for advocating for the residents of our Shire, and I look forward to working with the government on the delivery of the ambulance station.”
