The Taranaki Base Hospital redevelopment - Stage 2 includes the six storey, 20,000m² East Wing Building (called NEWB) which houses Maternity, Neonatal, Radiology, ICU, the Emergency Department and other acute clinical services and has a rooftop helicopter pad. The project is estimated to be fully completed by the end of 2025.

The NEWB adjoins and is connected to the stage 1 Acute Services Building. The development is part of Project Maunga - a long-term plan to improve infrastructure at the original 1950s campus with a focus on more integrated and efficient patient care.
