The official opening of the new Casino Ambulance Station tomorrow, May 30 crowns a 12-year period of The Nationals in the former NSW Government delivering key infrastructure for the Richmond and Clarence Valleys, according to local Nationals MP, Richie Williamson.
“This a really important health asset for Casino and conveniently located right next to the local hospital,” Mr Williamson said.
“I know how much this new ambulance station means to the local community and I am thrilled we were able to deliver this important piece of health infrastructure.
“I want to thank my friend Richmond Valley Council Mayor Robert Mustow whose enthusiastic cooperation ensured this state-of-the-art health facility was delivered efficiently and on time.”
A massive ambulance program from the previous Government also delivered new stations for Evans Head and Iluka, a record increase in paramedics and better pay conditions and upgraded fleet.
Mr Williamson said the new Casino Station includes internal parking for up to six emergency ambulance vehicles, staff rest facilities, administration and office areas, logistics and storage areas, an internal wash bay and staff parking.
“The last State Government brought us the multi-billion dollar Pacific Highway upgrade, the new Grafton Bridge, locking into the NSW Budget the massive upgrade of Grafton Base Hospital, and so much more” Mr Williamson said.
“As I said in my first speech to Parliament, I am keen to work with the Labor Government on behalf of locals to ensure infrastructure delivery for the Richmond and Clarence Valley continues.”
