The QueenslandGovernment has announced the appointment of Multiplex to deliver the state’s new 600-bed Coomera Hospital facility.
The new Coomera Hospital is on schedule to be delivered in 2028, starting with the car park through to all 600 beds by 2032.
Multiplex will deliver the major infrastructure project, with civil works, construction of retaining walls, permanent stormwater management tanks and works on the multi-storey car park expected to start from next month.
Major foundation works are already underway, including concrete pours to support the expanded footprint, alongside retaining works, remodelling of existing structures and bulk eart works.
The new Coomera Hospital is part of the Crisafulli Government’s fully-funded Hospital Rescue Plan, delivering more than 2,600 additional beds, three new hospitals and major expansions at 10 hospitals across Queensland.
Premier, David Crisafulli said the new hospital would deliver health services when Queenslanders need them for the rapidly growing northern Gold Coast.
“The northern Gold Coast is one of the fastest-growing parts of Queensland, and we’re making sure families have access to health services when they need them, as their communities continue to grow,” Premier Crisafulli said.
“We’re delivering a bigger, better Coomera Hospital, with 200 more beds because Queenslanders deserve easier access to health services and health infrastructure that keeps pace with population growth.”
Minister for Health and Ambulance Services, Tim Nicholls said the Crisafulli Government was building the beds, growing the workforce and improving patient flow to heal Labor’s Health Crisis.
“Labor had a decade to plan for the growth of the northern Gold Coast but left behind an underfunded and under-scoped 400-bed proposal that could never have been delivered as promised,” Minister Nicholls said.
“We made the choice to fix the project, add 200 beds, and properly plan and fund the hospital this community needs, and we’re now getting on with delivering it.”
