By GlobalDataWork on the new emergency facility to commence in 2021 and is expected to be completed in 2024.
As part of the enabling works of the project, the ACT Government has already delivered a new administration building. It is now working on new teaching and research facilities, a new Child at Risk Health Unit, new library facilities and a new temporary staff carpark.
Minister for Health Rachel Stephen-Smith said: “I am pleased that the ACT Government will be partnering with Multiplex to deliver a state-of-the-art emergency and critical healthcare building for all Canberrans, growing our healthcare capacity and creating about 500 local jobs during construction.
“Building a new, bigger emergency facility will ensure that we are well-equipped to respond to the needs of our growing Canberra community, with the project set to provide more operating rooms, more treatment spaces and more intensive care beds as well as more doctors, nurses and clinical staff.”
After receiving feedback from the community, Multiplex and the ACT Government have committed to constructing an undercover walkway between the new acute facility and the current building 2.
The development application for the proposed facility is lodged early next year.
