Redevelopment

Our Infrastructure and Commercial Services (ICS) projects team is responsible for the project management delivery of Hospital projects and facilities.

Along with the ICS Facilities team, they jointly manage the planning, procurement, design, build and maintenance of Northland DHB Hospital facilities throughout Northland.  It is an exciting time for the team with various large projects in progress and more on the horizon. 

Here’s an update on what the team have worked on:

Endoscopy Suite Open  

Our new Endoscopy Suite was opened in March 2021. 

Then in May 2021, our new Cardiac Catheter Laboratory and two new operating theatres were officially opened by Minister of Health Hon. Andrew Little.

Bay of Island Whānau House 

Funds from Hugo Charitable Trust were used to purchase building materials for the construction of the Bay of Islands Hospital’s Hugo Whānau House.

The new building provides accommodation for up to six whānau when loved ones are admitted to the Hospital. The project was a joint undertaking by the Hugo Trust, Northland DHB and the Northland Regional Corrections Facility (NRCF). 

The government committed $10m towards Kaitaia Hospital upgrade 

On 29 January 2021, the Government announced that they would provide $10 million to address weather tightness issues at Kaitaia Hospital. The projects team identified the main areas of concern and have created a programme of works to upgrade facilities.

More beds for Te Kotuku 

Two new double rooms with ensuites were added to the Te Kotuku Maternity unit at Whangārei Hospital. 

The extra space helps alleviate bed constraints in the hospital by allowing boarder mums to be accommodated in Te Kotuku.
