On 27 June 2011 clinical services commenced at the new Liz Plummer Cancer Care Centre in Cairns. APP was instrumental in all facets of the delivery of this new service from master planning, design, tender, construction, operational commissioning and decanting.  Our impact on this project is best highlighted by delivering the service a full two years ahead of schedule, thereby providing the people of Cairns and the region access to a new Radiation Oncology service and an expanded Ambulatory Oncology service well ahead of the original programmed dates.

As part of the new $65M Block E development, the new Radiation Oncology service includes the installation of two Linear Accelerators on the Ground Floor. The design and construction of these bunkers was fundamental to the delivery of the service and required detailed and thorough control throughout all phases of the project. Each machine is worth $2.5M and has only millimetres of tolerance but still needs to be housed in bunkers with more than two metre thick concrete walls.
