Project Update - Issue 30
MAY 2017
The Lismore Base Hospital Stage 3B redevelopment project is a $180 million Health
Infrastructure initiative funded by the NSW Government.
Construction on schedule
With Level 8 WCU now completed,
focus has turned to completing the
next phase of the redevelopment:
the completion of levels 9 (surgical
IPU), 10 (medical IPU), and 11
(Paediatrics).
Levels 9,10, and 11 are scheduled
for completion in August 2017, with
the three levels due to be handed
over to the NNSW LHD in one block.
The remaining two levels of E Block—
Level 6 (Theatres) and Level 7 (CSSD)
are scheduled for completion in
November 2017.
Meanwhile, enabling works in
preparation for the demolition of the
existing old A Block continue, with
several relocation of services
happening in the past few weeks,
including the Discharge Transit Unit
and Patient Transport to the old EMU
and Admissions to the old WCU.
