Grafton Base Hospital redevelopment progresses with builder appointment

The construction company will refurbish two administration blocks within the old gaol.

The $166m (A$263.8m) Grafton Base Hospital redevelopment in New South Wales has progressed with Woollam Constructions to undertake early works.

The construction company has been tasked with refurbishing two administration blocks within the old gaol, which are expected to provide contemporary administrative, office, and training spaces for hospital staff.

Construction is set to begin in the coming months whilst clinical services remain on the existing hospital site.  

The redevelopment will feature a new three-storey building that includes an emergency department, emergency short stay, medical imaging, and an inpatient unit.
