The Nelson Hospital rebuild has been beset with delays, but last week, the Government announced $73m in funding to begin the long-awaited redevelopment. It is earmarked for design work of a new acute services building with 255 beds, a larger emergency department, as well as seismic strengthening. And Nelson and Tasman's new EBus service has been launched, with 17 new electric buses and new routes, including an express service between Nelson and Motueka and a dedicated airport bus service.
