Gympie’s range of health scare services is getting a shot in the arm with a new medical centre given the green light to be built near Gympie Central Shopping Centre.
Gympie Regional Council’s planning department approved developer Balpese Pty Ltd’s plan to build the centre at the corner of Excelsior Rd and Stanley St, less than 200m from the shopping centre.
The land was previously home to a low-set timber home; it was removed from the block several weeks ago.
The new centre will include a reception area, waiting room, bathrooms, a staff kitchen and several consultation rooms.
Twenty-six parking spaces will be provided including an ambulance bay.
Construction of the centre is expected to cost more than $193,903 according to figures provided by consulting firm Ingeniir and outlined in the council’s approval notice.
Balpese has until December 2027 to build the centre or its approval will expire.
