The site location consisted of an existing green area enclosed on three sides by the hospital buildings and on the south by the public car park. An existing water main, storm and foul water lines were diverted prior to commencement of excavation. The bulk dig consisted of reducing the ground level by approximately one metre over an area of 1,300m² and the excavation of trenches for the switch rooms and pads for the structural steel columns

The project also includes for the construction of a new state of the art 220m² wounds clinic for burns patients and new playground and car parking facilities for the wider campus. 

Since completion of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit the Hospital have now decanted from their existing Intensive Care Unit through the newly formed link. The old Intensive Care Unit is currently being internally demolished and refurbished to provide 440m² of facilities for both staff and parents such as bedrooms, changing rooms and canteens. This refurbishment also includes the provision of new mechanical and electrical services including medical gases which tie into existing hospital services.
