The Redevelopment of Tumut Health Service is located on the existing Tumut Hospital site. 
services relocation, new substation, and services connections, 24 inpatient beds and pods, emergency department, operating theatre complex and day surgery, wellness centre, pharmacy, radiology, and pathology, helipad, staff accommodation, site wide infrastructure upgrades, and demolition of nominated buildings. 
The project was split across four stages incorporating: early works, the building and fit out, demolition of the old hospital, new front entrance, and helipad construction, and a variation the addition of a new Ambulance Station on the site. 
Richard Crookes delivered the project with their Canberra team and was able to manage the vagaries of trade resourcing and obtaining materials caused by Covid, plus the difficulties associated with construction in a regional setting. RCC instigated the adoption of an engineered fill platform instead of the designed concrete piers and ground beams, and the use of a steel stick framing system rather than the structural steel solution documented – saving the client money. 
Health Infrastructure have flagged this project as a benchmark for regional hospital design and construction and are replicating the design on future regional projects. The Project was successfully completed in a challenging environment where demolition, construction and refurbishment activities across the campus were dealt with in an efficient and professional manner, resulting in a well finished facility for all stakeholders.
