In support of the future of New Zealand’s Antarctic science programme, the base will be redeveloped. In June 2019 the Government committed NZ$18.5 million (US$12.4 million) for the next phase of the Scott Base Redevelopment project, which will see the base's 12 separate buildings replaced by three large interconnected buildings.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=|first=|date=2019|title=Redeveloping Scott Base for the future|journal=Antartctic|volume=37|pages=13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Home|url=https://www.scottbaseredevelopment.govt.nz/|access-date=2021-03-07|website=Scott Base Redevelopment|language=en-US}}</ref> Jasmax and [[Hugh Broughton (architect)|Hugh Broughton Architects]] came up with the architectural design.<ref>{{cite news |last=Morton |first=Jamie |date=28 June 2019 |title=Plans for new-look Scott Base revealed |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12244827 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |access-date=15 July 2019}}</ref> Since then the New Zealand Government has committed $344 million to rebuild the base.<ref>{{cite web |title=Successful budget for Scott Base |url=https://www.scottbaseredevelopment.govt.nz/news-publications/successful-budget-for-scott-base |publisher=Antarctica New Zealand |access-date=7 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211009073531/https://www.scottbaseredevelopment.govt.nz/news-publications/successful-budget-for-scott-base |archive-date=9 October 2021 |date=20 May 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref>

On 5 November 2021, Antarctica New Zealand confirmed that PrimePort Timaru will host the redevelopment of the prefabricated Scott Base facilities. Besides the three interconnected buildings, the project also involves upgrading the [[Ross Island]] wind farm. The redevelopment project will create an estimated 700 jobs over the next six years.<ref>{{cite news |title=New Antarctica NZ base to be built in Timaru |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/455037/new-antarctica-nz-base-to-be-built-in-timaru |access-date=7 November 2021 |work=[[Radio New Zealand]] |date=5 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211107111501/https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/455037/new-antarctica-nz-base-to-be-built-in-timaru |archive-date=7 November 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>
