As part of the Monash Medical Centre Emergency Department Redevelopment and Traffic Improvement Project, a program of demolition works is now underway at Monash Medical Centre.
Over the next six weeks there will be an increase in noise and vibration at the site. This is expected to commence from Tuesday the 25th of May.
David Ballantyne, Executive Director of Capital and Infrastructure, said the works are crucial as the project enters the next phase in delivering a bigger, better emergency department.
“Every effort has been made to minimise the impact on clinical areas, but unfortunately some increased noise and vibration is unavoidable,” David said.
“Areas near the front of the site, across all levels, can expect an increase in noise from the works,” David said. “This includes the main entry and reception, Imaging, the emergency department, as well as ICU, CCU and Level 5 Adult Short Stay.”
The particularly noisy phases of demolition and construction are expected to last six weeks. Efforts have been made to conduct works at the least-disruptive times. Wards and departments will receive a weekly notice of days and times to expect increased noise.
Patient flyers are available to download here, and a poster for affected areas can be downloaded here.
