Dubbo councillor Ben Shields has called for the release of the master plan for future stages of the hospital's redevelopment to answer questions about the planned use of the land the non-profit childcare centre currently occupies.
NSW deputy opposition leader Linda Burney has also taken up the matter in Parliament asking if any space or facility on the hospital site would be available to Playmates Cottage.
Answers from health minister Jillian Skinner are due on Wednesday.
Dubbo MP Troy Grant said in August the reality was beyond December 2016 "the expansion of the hospital means Playmates really does need to find a new home".
He pledged then and again on the floor of Parliament in September to ensure the childcare provider a "good alternative site" was found and at the same time deliver a "world class health facility".
Cr Shields, a member of the Save Playmates Cottage committee, raised the matter again at this month's meeting of Dubbo City Council.
He said he had seen parts of the master plan and called for it to be released to the public.
In a later statement he reiterated his concerns, saying the public would be "starting to wonder exactly what does NSW Health Infrastructure have in mind for the site".
"The people of Dubbo are telling me they are concerned," he said.
"Their hard-earned rate and tax dollars went into building a first class facility on hospital grounds so that doctors, nurses and other health workers could have close by childcare facilities.
". . . I've seen the hospital plan.
"It's now time the public be allowed to see the plan for what happens to the childcare centre and the hospital in stages three and four.
"Playmates Cottage is finding it really hard to operate without a long-term future being guaranteed.
"So far the centre has had no real offer of a secure tenure anywhere else.
"Time is ticking away and secrecy is helping no one.
"We need to keep our doctors and nurses in Dubbo."
Ms Burney, who is also opposition spokeswoman for early childhood education, asked questions on notice of the health minister last month shortly after she visited the childcare centre.
She asked if land would be identified on the Dubbo hospital site for the provision of child care, how much funding would be available to construct childcare facilities at the hospital site and would any site or facility at the hospital site be available to Playmates Cottage.
