Royal Hobart Hospital Redevelopment (Stage 1 of the RHH site-wide Master Plan)
Machine-read 23Secondary 3
Reporting boundary
Whole-of-project record for Stage 1 of the RHH Master Plan, comprising Phase 1 (infrastructure and essential capital works), Phase 2 (Integrated Cancer Centre) and Phase 3 (K-Block inpatient precinct). The $689m total is the sum of four funding lines in Table 7 (p.34, 2019 report): $100m Special Capital Investment Funds - Hospital Capital Fund - RHH; $469m Capital Investment Program - RHH Redevelopment; $100m Capital Investment Program - RHH Women's and Children's; $20m Capital Investment Program - State-wide Cancer Services - RHH Cancer Centre Upgrade. Phase-3-specific cost movement is recorded separately under the K-Block record to avoid double counting. Note the 2019 report states at para 1.5 that the Integrated Cancer Centre did 'not form part of the Project', yet its $20m appears inside the $689m Table 7 total - the two reports draw the boundary differently. Merged from 5 records that described this project, each read from a different document. Every fact keeps its own source.
