Eden Hospital hit by supercell

EDEN Private Hospital was impacted by the supercell weather event that dumped 110mm of rain on Cooroy in the first week of February.

Water inundated some parts of the hospital, but Eden Private Hospital management acted swiftly to assess the situation and mitigate any risk, working in partnership with other services including the Queensland Health Service and Queensland Ambulance Service, to safely transfer all patients to alternate nearby hospitals, in accordance with its hospital emergency response plan.

A hospital spokesperson said management is actively working to rectify the damage caused by the supercell in order to reopen the hospital and resume operations.

“Eden Private Hospital will continue to work with public and private healthcare providers, for the transfer of patients back to Eden Private once repairs to areas impacted are assessed and repairs are complete.

“The safety and care of all patients is paramount and has not been compromised.”

The supercell weather event caused severe thunderstorms, heavy rain and power outages to more than 11,000 homes across South East Queensland, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

Timber seats get a new lease of life

COOROY residents were pleased to see recent repairs to public seating about town, with special attention paid to replacing rotting sections of timber in the seats adjacent to the water fountain outside the Bloomhill Op-shop in Maple Street. Now, Noosa Council has announced it's Pomona's turn, where the distinctive leaf-shape public seating (above) is a little worse for wear. "Council staff are working with the artist of these seats on a management plan, with some work expected to commence early in 2022," said Bryan O'Connor, Asset Planning Manager, Infrastructure Services.
