Nursing home project receives funding
West Wimmera Health Service (WWHS) has announced that the Rupanyup Nursing Home project has received additional funding to proceed.
The significant milestone ensures the project can continue as planned and represents a strong vote of confidence in its value to the local community.
With this confirmation, WWHS is now in a position to formally announce that the building contractor is Nicolson Construction.
The project kicked off on May 13 and is expected to be completed early next year.
This funding will enable WWHS to deliver on key project outcomes and bring long-term benefits to the Rupanyup region.
Stage one of the project includes the construction of seven individual bedrooms with ensuites, a new kitchen and dining area, storage for linen and equipment, a lounge area, an external terrace with footpath access to the garden, a quiet lounge with a private patio, and landscaping featuring an outdoor pavilion with a kitchenette and toilet.
WWHS extended their thanks to all partners and stakeholders for their ongoing support and commitment.
While the core funding is now secured, any additional donations are still warmly welcomed and will go directly toward furniture, fittings, and final touches that will help make the space as welcoming and functional as possible.
Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful difference.
Further details on the project timeline and next steps will be shared shortly.
