Westport hospital replacement on track
From local democracy reporter Brendon McMahon:
The West Coast District Health Board says the new Buller Health complex, which will replace the ageing Buller Hospital and medical centre facilities in Westport, will be completed in mid-2023.
DHB executive director infrastructure Rob Ojala, said construction was progressing well.
"All roof trusses have been installed and installation of the roofing iron is well under way, with 85% of the roof completed.
"The project is still on schedule and the expected completion timeframe remains the second quarter of 2023."
Brickwork, installation of plumbing and electrical services, including heating, ventilation and air conditioning and fire systems had all commenced, Mr Ojala said.
"Activity on site has really ramped up with service trades now well into their work."
