Plans for the Bathurst Integrated Medical Centre have gone on display to the public with community members urged to give their feedback on the development.

The proposal is for a six-level "one stop" integrated medical centre to be built on the former Clancy Motors site Howick Street, now owned by Bathurst RSL.

The development would include an adjoining five-level car park, increasing the available car spaces from about 330 to as many as 950.

The BIMC consortium and Bathurst RSL will contribute $8.4 million to kick start construction of the planned council-owned car park.

Mr Miller said the RSL was pleased to see draft plans for the development released for public feedback.

"We think it ticks every box in terms of community benefit," Mr Miller said.

"Bathurst residents need to have access to first class medical facilities, and people who work in the CBD all day need somewhere to park and, of course, somewhere for our members and visitors to park."

Bathurst MP Paul Toole has also welcomed the proposal, saying such a development would help attract health specialists to Bathurst.

"I would urge the community to provide their feedback on the medical centre because it has the potential to be a game changer for health services in the region," he said.

Despite some opposition to building the six-storey facility in the CBD, Mr Toole said he would welcome a medical centre in the centre of town.

"With the adjoining car park, it offers a central, easily accessible location which would also give a huge impetus to supporting the local economy and create a vibrant and thriving CBD," he said.

Mayor Ian North encouraged people to share their views on the development at the on the Bathurst YourSay website.

"Our community can view the details of the proposed project and provide feedback to the team at BIMC and Zauner Construction," he said.

"The feedback will be used to inform the application to the state government for consideration of the project as a state significant development."

Once completed, the private hospital development is designed to include facilities such as women's health services, general and specialist practices, pharmacy, medical training, radiology, pathology and other allied health services.
