Woolgoolga Vet Clinic is currently operating at 4 Market Street, Woolgoolga, within the central business area.

The existing landowners are seeking to change the location of its operations to Beach Street, Woolgoolga, while continuing to provide the service to the local area.

The proposed new vet hospital will include a kennel room, cat ward, surgery room, treatment room, two consultation rooms, waiting room, staff room and a reception area and will be located at 23 Beach Street, Woolgoolga.

Services proposed at the new site include vaccinations and parasite control, pet health checks, dental checks, desexing and routine surgery, tick treatments and prevention, high-quality dietary advice, in house pathology, sonography and radiography.

The vet hospital is proposed to employ two veterinarians, two vet nurses and two ancillary staff and operate from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 12pm on a Saturday.

The site’s current use as a Cafe/Takeaway Food Shop was originally approved by Council in 1998.
