Bigger, better Swan Hill District Health taking shape

The second stage of the major redevelopment at Swan Hill District Health has achieved a significant milestone.

The new multi-storey community mental health facility we’re building is structurally complete – paving the way for the building’s striking facade and internal fit-out to progress.

More than 3000 cubic metres of concrete, 45 tonnes of structural steel and a whopping 277 tonnes of steel reinforcement have helped the facility rise from the ground up. Take a look.

A new multi-storey community mental health facility at Swan Hill District Health is on track to be completed next year.

The project

The project is the second and final stage of the $65.7 million redevelopment at Swan Hill District Health.

The first stage of the project delivered a new and expanded emergency department, which more than doubled the amount of treatment spaces. The new emergency department includes a four-bed short-stay unit, an isolation room and a behavioural assessment room.
