Construction work on stage one of the redevelopment project is nearly complete and local builder H. Troon is upgrading and relocating reception areas, prayer room, reflection spaces, and consulting suites.
At present, the demolition of old facilities is underway and construction of the new central energy plant as well as support services building is planned to begin this year.
Foley said: “We’ve almost finished stage one of this redevelopment and now we are getting on with stage two, ensuring the community can access modern hospital support services including pathology, pharmacy and education that will be critical to the long-term success of the hospital.”
The redevelopment project’s final stage construction work is anticipated to be completed in 2027.
Once open, the hospital will have the capacity to treat nearly 18,000 more emergency patients and additionally 14,500 inpatients per year.
