New designs released for Ballarat Base Hospital’s central energy plant and support services building

The release of new designs marks a significant step in the delivery of the $541.6 million Ballarat Base Hospital redevelopment.

What’s next? Demolition is currently underway on Eildon House and the Edward Wilson Building to pave the way for construction of the new building, which is set to begin in late 2022.

The search for a builder to deliver this package of work will begin shortly. The shortlist is expected to be released soon.

Final designs of the multi-level hospital tower will be released later this year. Construction of the final stage will be completed in 2027.
