CEO, Neil Soullier travelled to Maryborough to look over the construction of Maryborough’s new public hospital, which is coming along at a blistering pace. We had an opportunity for a walk through and were particularly interested in the location of the new Urgent Care Centre (UCC), which will continue to be named in memory of Senior Constable Maurice Moore, who was killed in the line of duty at Maryborough in September 1986.

Back in 2016 the Moore family, our Maryborough Branch and dozens of tradespeople and suppliers combined to rebuild the outdated UCC in the current hospital. It truly was an incredible show of community spirit and generosity, so we’re pleased that S/C Moore’s memory will continue to live on for many years to come.

Our tour was arranged with the Victorian Health Building Authority and our thanks to Project Director, Darko Jagic for his support and assistance. We and the Moore family – Heather, Kathryn, Paul & Stephen will be working over coming weeks with the VHBA around designs for the new memorial recognition pieces.
