Patient care will not be compromised during construction of the new facility. Patients will continue to receive the full range of services that are currently available. The existing hospital will remain fully operational until the new hospital opens. With a fully functioning hospital adjacent to the construction site, it will be critical that any construction related impacts (eg. noise, dust, vibration) and other disruptions are kept to an absolute minimum. Regular consultation will take place between the builder, hospital management and the local community to discuss construction issues and minimise any disruption to the existing hospital or local residents. Initiatives will draw on the wealth of experience and expertise from successful hospital projects in Victoria involving construction activity close to functioning hospitals.
