The Tasmanian Liberal Government's brand new, state-of-the-art Legana Ambulance Station is another step closer.
A preferred site at Lot 23 Legana Park Drive, Legana, has been selected for the new station.
Through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future, planning is well underway to deliver four new ambulance stations at Legana, Cygnet, Snug and King Island.
Minister for Health, Jacquie Petrusma, said the new station will reduce call-out response times for incidents in Legana and the surrounding communities.
"The new Legana Ambulance Station will be a dedicated, contemporary and purpose-built ambulance station that will house all of Ambulance Tasmania's requirements, with capacity for future expansion of services," Minister Petrusma said.
"Our Government is delivering the critical infrastructure Ambulance Tasmania needs to bolster ambulance and paramedic services across the State.
"Since coming to Government, we have committed to building 16 new or upgraded ambulance station infrastructure for our expanding ambulance service, to ensure Tasmanians receive the right care, at the right place, at the right time."
Liberal Member for Bass, Michael Ferguson, said with Legana being one of the fastest growing areas in the State, the Tasmanian Liberal Government is ensuring it has the amenities the community needs to thrive.
"From the brand new Legana Primary School to a new state-of-the-art ambulance station, our Government is investing in the services that matter most to Tasmanians," Mr Ferguson said.
Public consultation is expected to take place in June 2025, with the station expected to be completed in late 2026.
