CONSTRUCTION of a GP Super Clinic at Wyndham Vale should start by the middle of the year.
As reported in the Weekly last June, the $15million clinic will be run by ISIS Primary Care, which operates six health centres across the western suburbs, including at Hoppers Crossing.
The clinic will include GPs, dental care, dietetics, occupational therapy, sexual and reproductive health services, along with social work and family support programs.
It had been hoped work would start on the clinic by the end of last year, but land has yet to be secured.
A spokeswoman for Prime Minister and Lalor MP Julia Gillard said the government was close to securing a site for the clinic and would soon lodge a building permit application with Wyndham Council. It was anticipated construction would begin by mid-2012. Manor Lakes Residents Association spokeswoman Lesley Watson said it was hoped the clinic would be within walking distance of the proposed Wyndham Vale station.
The clinic will be the second multipurpose medical centre built in the municipality this year, with Wyndham Private to open on May1.
