To address these challenges and enable a quality service provision for patients, Bendigo & District Aboriginal Co-Operative (BDAC) began planning for Stage 3 New Medical Facility in 2022, with construction commenced in the second half of 2023.
The new medical centre will provide a vital space for connection and for the delivery of safe, accessible, and responsive health services in a setting that is welcoming and deeply connected to the land and Culture.
Stage 3 scope consists of the construction of a new Medical Facility which includes:
Following consultation with user groups and Community, an innovative and responsive double-storey design has been developed by the project’s architectural team Billard Leece Partnership and Workshop Architecture. The design aims to provide access and flow to patients and staff, by connecting the nature contained within the surrounding outdoors to the interior of the facility.
Once complete, the building will be 1250m2, compared to the current medical facility of 500m2.
We are proud to have played a role in improving community facilities.
