New Dunedin Hospital – Stage 2 Outpatient Building – Fast Track Consent Granted
On 17 August 2022 the Minster of Health was granted resource consent under the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020 for the above-ground construction works and subsequent operation of the new Outpatient building at Dunedin Hospital.
Resource consent for the stage 1 foundation works was granted on 23 December 2021, and the granting of this subsequent consent will enable the establishment of the new Outpatient building, the first of the two new clinical buildings that will comprise the New Dunedin Hospital.
Housing a range of consultation and treatment spaces, day surgery facilities, and procedure and diagnostic services, works on the Outpatient building are anticipated to commence in early October 2022. Utilising the fast track consenting legislation has enabled the development to stay on track despite the challenges of the last two years.
A team from Greenwood Roche, led by Partner Julian Smith, is advising on all consenting and property matters relating to the New Dunedin Hospital.
