The $384.2 million Warrnambool Base Hospital redevelopment is on track, with construction of the new offsite Regional Logistics Distribution Centre (RLDC) nearing structural completion.

Construction of the new facility forms an important part of the enabling works for the rest of the hospital redevelopment. Moving these functional services offsite will make way for the new multi-storey clinical services tower at Warrnambool Base Hospital.
