Project advisory firm WT has been engaged by Health Infrastructure NSW to provide post-contract quantity surveying services for Stage 2 of the Manning Hospital redevelopment.
Part of the $180 million Lower Mid North Coast Health Service project, Stage 2 includes a new multi-storey clinical services building designed to strengthen local health services and provide capacity for future growth. The building will accommodate inpatient facilities, coronary care, pharmacy and pathology spaces and a new mortuary, while improving connections with the existing hospital.
As the post-contract quantity surveyor, WT is supporting Health Infrastructure NSW with progress claim and variation assessments, monthly cost reporting and management of scope and budget changes.
WT state director and NSW healthcare sector lead Sarah Witchell said the project was especially meaningful for the team because of its long-term impact on the community.
“We’re proud to bring our healthcare experience and hands-on approach as Health Infrastructure NSW delivers new and improved facilities for the Manning Valley,” she said. “Working within an operational environment brings additional complexity. Our role is to give the client clear visibility of costs and changes throughout delivery, helping them make informed decisions and achieve lasting value from this important investment.”
Once complete, the redevelopment is expected to improve access to health services and facilities for patients, families, carers and healthcare workers across the Manning Valley and Lower Mid North Coast.
Stage 2 of the Manning Hospital redevelopment is expected to be completed in 2028.
