The health centre was recently approved by the Planning
Department and will be in the former Redfern Court House. It will create up to
94 jobs and will provide mental health and drug health services.
Community group REDWatch spokesman Geoff
Turnbull questioned the need to close the former health
centre, which had operated out of the Rachel Forster
Building.
“I think the main health centre we had was fine, but
once the State Government decided it wanted to sell the site, it had to find
another one,” he said.
“There was a hydrotherapy pool and they are not easy to
come by, the new one won’t have one.”
