Reporting boundary
Single named hospital project managed by a project team inside the Department for Health and Wellbeing (not DIT, the usual delivery agency). Costs are capitalised in the Women's and Children's Health Network Incorporated (WCHN) financial report and consolidated into SA Health. The site is 5.697 hectares (land area, not a floor-area figure). The report explicitly states the $250m capital works in progress is 'not all of the costs of the project'. Merged from 3 records that described this project, each read from a different document. Every fact keeps its own source.
