History
a medical facility was first erected on this site in 1917. The first buildings were in fact two tents and a brick nurses quarters. More permanent building would have been built by 1918 and various building extensions have been built since. The hospital had a very strong Ladies' Auxilliary and in 1953 was classed as "one of the best outside the metropolis". A major 18 bed extension was built in 1966.

Due to the changes that are needed to meet regulations, most of the early hospital has been changed and the heritage value would commence from c1949.
