In an exciting project milestone, early works for the new Toowoomba Hospital have now started.
All existing services at the Baillie Henderson campus will remain open while works are in progress.
๐ Carparking:
You'll still be able to park on site while visiting our campus. The carpark closest to the worksite will close in May 2024. Before it closes, more carparking will be constructed across the campus to make sure there are no reductions in the total number of carparks available.
๐ฆ Traffic management:
In late April/early May 2024, Burnview Avenue (from Nicoll Avenue to Mort Street) will close to maintain a safe worksite. Signed detours will be in place to guide road users. Footpath and bike entry will be through the Tor Street entrance.
