The approved project scope incorporated three elements:

●  enabling works-the construction and refurbishment works on the Royal Melbourne Hospital site required to be completed to allow the occupants of the Charles Connibere Building to be relocated, so that the building could to be demolished to make way for the new RWH

●  main works-this element relates to the construction of the new RWH in line with the functional brief, which was developed by the project team in consultation with key stakeholders. It included demolition of the Charles Connibere Building, construction of a 980-space underground car park and the main RWH building itself (incorporating a 60-bed private hospital to replace the existing Frances Perry House)

●  asset sales-the redevelopment of the RWH on the Royal Melbourne Hospital site will enable the disposal of the existing RWH site, together with a number of other properties owned by the hospital.
