WT has been engaged by Health Infrastructure to provide post-contract quantity surveying services for Stage 2 of the Manning Hospital Redevelopment, supporting the delivery of expanded healthcare infrastructure for Taree and the wider Manning Valley.
Part of the $180 million Lower Mid North Coast Health Service project, Stage 2 includes a new multistorey 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. Completion is expected in 2028.
As post-contract quantity surveyor, we are supporting Health Infrastructure with progress claim and variation assessments, monthly cost reporting and management of scope and budget changes. Our focus is on providing clear, current cost information to support informed decision-making throughout construction.
“Healthcare projects have a direct and lasting impact on the communities they serve, and that makes this an especially meaningful project for our team,” said Sarah Witchell, State Director and NSW Healthcare Sector Lead at WT. “We’re proud to bring our healthcare experience and hands-on approach as NSW Health Infrastructure delivers new and improved facilities for the Manning Valley.”
“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 contemporary health services and facilities for patients, families, carers and healthcare workers across the Manning Valley and Lower Mid North Coast.
This appointment builds on our experience supporting healthcare infrastructure across Australia and around the world.
