Statement from Mayor Liz Innes in response to the NSW Government's $150m funding commitment to build a regional hospital in Eurobodalla.

I could not be more delighted that the NSW Government will deliver this amazing and much-needed facility for our region.

The benefits that will flow on from this new hospital to our community cannot be understated.

This commitment from the NSW Premier shows confidence in our local Member for Bega Andrew Constance, who I congratulate on this fantastic result.

I also congratulate our local health professionals, particularly Dr Michael Holland, for their advocacy in this space.

It’s incredible to see what can be achieved working collaboratively, with goodwill and clear direction.
