HomeCo in South Lismore is set to welcome a new medical centre to its set-up with a development application being lodged with Lismore City Council.

The DA is seeking "the change of use from specialist retail premises to medical centre. The proposed land use will require completion of internal building works for the fit-out of the medical centre."

The fit out to turn the vacant space from a retail space into a specialist medical centre is estimated to cost $500,000.

According to the application, the medical centre is proposed to provide 25 jobs for local residents.
