Steve Martin Pledges $100 Million for Albury Hospital Redevelopment
What happened
Steve Martin pledged an additional $100 million towards the Albury Hospital redevelopment. This funding is conditional on the Coalition winning the November state election and would support the provision of 50 new beds, a helipad, and acute youth mental health beds. The pledge also funds a feasibility study to determine if long-term demand can be met at the current 8-hectare site or if a new location is needed.

Why it matters
The investment is added to existing funding totaling $558 million from federal, New South Wales, and Victorian government sources. The feasibility study will determine the future infrastructure requirements for Albury, which community leaders have received a mixed reception to.
