Women's and Children's Hospital

In reply to the Hon. F. PANGALLO (15 October 2020).

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

Earthquake resilience is being factored into the planning and design of the new Women's and Children's Hospital.

From 2011, qualified seismic companies undertook various site investigations and assessments of the Para Fault. The recommendations from these assessments reinforced SA Health's view that the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) is not directly on an earthquake fault line.

The RAH has been designed to withstand and remain functional immediately following a one in 500 years earthquake event in accordance with the Australian Standard 1170.4-2007 and taking into account local seismic and geological conditions.

The new Women's and Children's Hospital will apply current quality standards and will build on the knowledge obtained during the RAH design and build.
