Brad Hazzard, Health Minister Jillian Skinner and Premier, Mike Baird witnessed the start of demolition work today on a derelict site on Pittwater Road to make way for the $50 million Brookvale Community Centre.
The five-storey community health centre will be a major hub for mental health, community nursing and drug and alcohol counselling services, and will provide a permanent home for BreastScreen NSW.
Mr Hazzard said: “This prime site has been an eyesore for years, which is why today is such an exciting day for the people of the Northern Beaches.”
