Update on Gardiner-Pittard Building mechanical fault
Late last month Ballarat Health Services experienced a mechanical fault in the basement of the Gardiner-Pittard Building, which caused minor flooding. This flood subsequently led to a shortage in a power switchboard.
Works to repair the switchboard are currently underway and we expect to fully occupy the building by the end of May.
Patients from the Gardiner-Pittard Building have temporarily relocated to the Henry Bolte wing and there has been no interruption to the provision of patient care or services. Patients are expected to return to the Gardiner-Pittard building by the end of the month.
Ground floor access to the Gardiner-Pittard Building, including disabled access, has been maintained throughout the repairs, with only a minor disruption the day following the power outage.
All repairs associated with the fault are covered by insurance.
