​​The $50 million Glen Innes Hospital Redevelopment has been given the green light, with a builder appointed to deliver main works construction and work set to start on the Redevelopment in the coming months. 

The Minns Government is investing in a redevelopment of Glen Innes Hospital to deliver a new acute services building on the existing hospital campus, housing an expanded emergency department, medical imaging, ambulance drop-off and bays, and mortuary. 

There will also be a new main entry to the hospital from Ferguson Street, enhancing access to health services for patients, carers and visitors, with a convenient drop-off area located outside the new hospital building.

TCQ Construction has been engaged as the builder to deliver the main works for the Glen Innes Hospital Redevelopment following a competitive tender process. 

The Glen Innes Hospital will continue to operate during the planned construction, providing ongoing care for the Glen Innes and surrounding communities, and remain as a District Hospital, networked to Armidale and Tamworth hospitals for access to specialist services.

Next steps for the project include finalising the design of the new acute services building ahead of construction starting in the coming months.

Consultation with staff, community and stakeholders will continue to ensure the new acute services building is a welcoming environment that reflects the heritage and culture of the region. 

Staff and community recently participated in consultation throughout October and November 2025, providing feedback on the project’s planning application. The contractor appointment follows planning determination for the project, which was received in December 2025.
