Three health providers forced to leave Hanover St because of a supermarket expansion have disclosed their new site.

Dunedin Urgent Doctors and Accident Centre, the Urgent Pharmacy, and Southern Community Laboratories are shifting to Filleul St, Dunedin, to the site of the former Para Rubber outlet.

They will shift later this year. It is not related to this week’s flood that has temporarily closed the urgent doctors.

When the Otago Daily Times reported the move last year, the the new site was not revealed.

The Hanover St premises are owned by Foodstuffs, which plans to demolish them in favour of a car park as part of an upgrade of Centre City New World.

Dunedin urgent doctors practice manager Martin Chamberlain said the lease runs out in November, but an exact move date had not been decided yet.

"The site is the old Para Rubber place. There’s nothing in it [at present]."

Mr Chamberlain has previously said Foodstuffs gave plenty of notice and indicated it had plans for the Hanover St site more than two years ago.
