Gympie’s New Police Station is Now Open
Police Minister Judy Spence has announced the new multi-million dollar Gympie Police Station and watchhouse is now operational.
Ms Spence said the new police station - which has cost $10 million to build - opened its doors this week.
“This has been a major capital works program for police in Gympie, and one that has improved the conditions for officers and provided modern-day policing infrastructure,” Ms Spence said.
“This new station was needed to replace the former Gympie District Police Headquarters, which was constructed in 1945 and had become over-crowded.”
Ms Spence said the new station features a three-level facility accommodating 24-hour policing operations, watchhouse, Scenes of Crime Office, Traffic Branch, Criminal Investigation Branch, Child Protection Investigation Unit, administration, and radio-communication facilities.
The new complex, on the corner of Channon and King Streets, has a total floor area of more than 2000 square metres.
The former police station will be refurbished in the future to accommodate the Gympie District Office.
