NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said: “This $558m project will transform healthcare for people in the Albury-Wodonga region, ensuring world-class facilities are within reach to those living on either side of the border for generations to come.”
Construction work on the new hospital is anticipated to begin in 2024, with completion expected by 2027.
The redevelopment project is expected to create over 1,000 jobs.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said: “As the border region continues to grow, we’ll make sure healthcare workers and local communities on both sides of the Murray can have the facilities they need.
“We’re working collaboratively with the NSW Government to give the growing Albury-Wodonga community the very best of care, now and into the future.”
