THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The new Port Moresby Cancer Centre (PMCC) plays an important role in providing the country with access to more
cancer treatment which will include some of the most advanced radiotherapy system with a new Linac and Halycon
machine.
The purpose of the PMCC is to provide further access to cancer care treatment for the country. The service available at
the PMCC will include:
— Outpatient clinics,
— Medical day treatment,
— Clinical support,
— Nuclear medicine,
— Patient holding/recovery,
— Treatment bunkers, and
— Staff areas
The project site involves the part demolition of an existing building adjacent to the Walter Strong Wing. The new
works, in relation to the new PMCC, includes the construction of a new 2 story building with dedicated entry and
connection link to existing Walter Strong Wing. The project is limited to the fitout of the ground floor space only,
while level 1 will remain shell and core for future fitout later.
Dedicated services plant space is located above the treatment bunkers and in external plant areas directly adjacent to
the new PMCC building. A new central plant compound will also be constructed as part of this project to house
centralised Chilled Water Generation plant, Fire Sprinkler & Hydrant tank and pumps. All major services connections
will either be new or be provided from existing infrastructure.

Standards Australia Codes, then the higher standard or most stringent requirements shall prevail and shall be deemed
to have been included in the Contract. The Contract’s order of documents precedence is not intended and shall not be
applicable in this case.
Any ambiguities or discrepancies with the Design Requirements, Technical Requirements and / or Contract Drawings
are to be highlighted at tender stage for clarification.
The Contractor is to review the tender documents, including other services, the architectural drawings, both general
and detailed and satisfy themselves that the spatial allowances made for hydraulic services are adequate for the
purposes of installing, testing and commissioning the works.

full details shall be submitted for review. Changes shall not be in conflict with any By-Laws, Statutory Requirements
(including BCA Section J where applicable), Public Health Requirements or the overall design in general including
achievement of any energy compliance and Green Star criteria.
Pump duties have been calculated from typical equipment and have been given as a guide only.
