The proposed $14 million development is an extension of the existing fourth storey of the public hospital on the western portion of the site.

The ward will have 37 beds including single rooms, day procedure beds and ancillary facilities resulting in 12 extra beds across the site needing an additional two staff members.

Minor facade changes were also proposed to the lower levels below the proposed paediatrics ward.
