Auckland City Hospital completes $211.4m infrastructure upgrade

The upgrades include a new central plant building and an underground service tunnel.

New Zealand’s Auckland City Hospital has completed stage two of its US$211.4m (NZ$364.3m) ‘Facilities Infrastructure Remediation Programme’.

The upgrades include a new central plant building and an underground service tunnel to enhance the hospital’s ability to withstand and operate through major events.

The facilities house and protect critical systems such as emergency generators, medical gas supplies, and diesel and water storage tanks.

A further $42.1m (NZ$73m) has been allocated for the programme’s third stage, which will upgrade power, heating, and safety systems at the hospital and Greenlane Clinical Centre.

The project forms part of the Government’s $580b (NZ$1b) hospital investment announced in Budget 2025.
