(1) The WA Country Health Service - Pilbara is currently preparing an application for consideration by the Town of Port Hedland's Planning Department to have a Department of Health owned house in Athol Street converted for use as a satellite community health centre. The site will also act as a base for maintaining community and child health services and provide 'hospital in the home' type services. Anyone requiring medical officer intervention will be referred to their General Practitioner or to the new Hedland Health Campus.
(2) The Athol Street site has potential to be used as a first aid post in the event of an emergency.
(3) None. The building is heritage listed and is unsuitable for redevelopment into modern medical emergency facilities.
