Every other build? Are you just talking buildings?


Not the structure but the workings of health, particularly :

- Isolation / pandemic rooms
- Operating theatres
- Clinical spaces
etc etc

No other "building" has clinical areas and the complexities that come with that.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

These two project blunders should be enough to sink any political party, but Labor will more than likely gain even more seats at the next election.

By 2027-28, gross state debt per capita will be $35k in Victoria, followed by $30k in SA, $29k in Queensland, and $28k in NSW.

Structurally it would have an earthquake rating too

Yeah but with in the last 15 years there’s been a new Glenside health facility and RAH built, significant redevelopments at FMC, NH, and LMH and current redevelopment occurring at FMC there’s are plenty of recent case studies on how to plan and budget for a new health facility build inclusive of treatment rooms , theatres and fire protection systems to meet IS0 4085 (I think is the health facilities emergency standard)

When you consider the current CEO for W&C health network was the executive lead for the Glenside redevelopment. They are well aware of the budgetary and infrastructure challenges when it comes to Billion dollar builds
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
