Greater Hume Shire has approved the construction of a warehouse at Holbrook to store bodies in liquid nitrogen and the company behind the plan expects construction to start in July-August.

“We would be hoping to break ground in the next three months, we are currently drawing up detailed construction plans and getting quotes for builders,” Statis Systems Australia secretary Matt Fisher said.

“We hope for the construction to be done by the end of the year and to have it up and running in the first half of next year.”

Mr Fisher said health department approvals, similar to those applied to mortuaries, were pending but he was upbeat about the cryonics centre opening in 2017.

“Of course (when it's used) depends on someone then dying to be preserved,” Mr Fisher said.

"The members we currently have. they all have the service available when they need it, but there's no queue as it were.”

Under Statis’ plan, clients will pay $80,000 to be frozen in anticipation of them being revived after advances in medical technology.

Mr Fisher said the public would be welcome to inspect the Enterprise Drive site once it was complete.

“We would be honoured to have people come and see what we doing once we get the facility built and we have something to show,” Mr Fisher said.

Greater Hume councillors voted 7-1 for the centre at this month's meeting, with Cr Tony Quinn the only naysayer after five ratepayers approached him with concerns.

“I don't think it sits very well with the shire,” Cr Quinn said.

“I've got nothing against it, but I just convey what ratepayers say to me.

“They were surprised that such a facility would be planted in the shire.

“It's a totally new idea and people react to totally new ideas and I raised their concerns – I've got no big hang-ups about it.”

The council has required NSW Health approval before a construction certificate is issued for work.
