Tablelands Regional Council's summary of its Ordinary Council Meeting on Thursday 27 August 2026 records the official opening of the new Rural Medical Imaging facility in Atherton, which Council describes as now home to the Tablelands' first MRI machine.
What Council reported
The opening was mentioned in the Acting Mayoral Minute presented by Acting Mayor Dave Bilney, as one of the community events and meetings he had recently attended on behalf of Council.
What it could mean for residents
Having an MRI machine on the Tablelands means an imaging service that previously was not available in the region now has a local home in Atherton. Cenlocal has not confirmed details such as opening hours, referral requirements, bulk-billing or the range of scans offered.
For appointments, referrals and costs, please contact Rural Medical Imaging directly or speak with your GP.
