Progress on North Canterbury Health Hub set to accelerate

Progress on the North Canterbury Health Hub is set to accelerate following the appointment of project managers and architects.

Canterbury District Health Board is pleased to announce the appointment of RCP (Resource Coordination Partnership) as the Project Manager for the Rangiora Health Hub development and Trengrove Architects as the lead designer for the project.

Carolyn Gullery, Canterbury DHB General Manager Planning and Funding, says the appointments are a welcome step towards progressing this important project.

"Were delighted to have made the appointments of RCP and Trengrove and have every confidence in their abilities to shape this development and engage with the North Canterbury community.

"RCP have extensive experience in the development of numerous health facilities both nationally and internationally. In addition RCP are currently engaged with a number of Canterbury DHB redevelopment and remediation programmes and come with a good understanding of the way we work in Canterbury.

"Trengrove are also the architects for the Kaikoura health facility, so bring with them an understanding of health design."

Carolyn says the Canterbury Health System is looking forward to seeing the first sod turned on this project, but is mindful it has some major projects underway, including the North Canterbury Hub.

"Canterbury DHB is currently managing 160 repair and building projects, excluding the Burwood and Christchurch Hospital facilities redevelopment, so we appreciate the North Canterbury communitys ongoing support in progressing their health hub."

Carolyn says a public meeting is being scheduled for early March.

"As its really important we continue to engage with the community about services that will operate out of the hub in addition to the current services working out of Rangiora Hospital," she says.
