The new station will house ACT Fire and Rescue and ACT Ambulance services.
Construction is progressing well on Acton’s new state-of-the-art emergency services station.
The new station will house ACT Ambulance Service and ACT Fire & Rescue. It will further improve response times in the city centre and inner north.
Construction is on schedule to be complete in December 2024.
While the building may look finished at that point, there will still be more to do. The station is expected to be operational by June 2025.
The new station will:
- house one Fire and Rescue pumper and one aerial appliance, with two crews per shift.
- be able to house up to six ambulance vehicles, including EV-charging capacity for our hybrid single response unit (SRU) fleet, and at this stage, one 24/7 ambulance crew.
The station’s design emphasises energy efficiency and aligns with the ACT’s Climate Change Strategy goals.
Its EV chargers will meet the needs of the agency’s electric vehicle fleet.
Solar panels on the roof are expected to create 142MWh per year.
The station is located between Clunies Ross Street and Parkes Way.
Once open, it will equip ACT first responders with the facilities and infrastructure they need to carry out their vital work.
