New medical centre awaits approval

As the population in the Mid-Richmond grows, so does the need for some very basic services including doctors and other medical professionals.

Recently, a development application (DA) went on public exhibition at Richmond Valley Council for 108-116 Richmond Street, Woodburn, or the old bowling club, to be changed to a health services facility.

If approved, the work will include refitting the existing building for the repurpose as a medical centre, along with a new carpark.

At an estimated cost of just under $500,000, letters of support have been included in the DA.

These letters include from Federal Member for Page, Kevin Hogan, State member for Clarence, Richie Williamson, Woodburn Pharmacy and the local Primary Health Network.

Readers can access the details here and written submissions can be made during the exhibition period by:
