Construction of the new Coomera Hospital is progressing steadily, with major structural milestones achieved in recent months.
The new Coomera Hospital is a state-of-the-art health care facility designed to cater to the growing population of the northern Gold Coast corridor, reducing pressure on Gold Coast University Hospital and Robina Hospital.
This will deliver 404 new beds, including surgical, medical and many other types necessary to support the area. With its advanced services and well-connected location, the hospital aims to ensure residents have ease of access to world-class medical care close to home.
The first concrete slab pours to support the state-of-the-art facility commenced in December 2024, covering an impressive 500 square metres and will continue through this quarter, weather permitting.
Construction is progressing well with inground services installation ongoing and the first four concrete pours completed for the main hospital building ground slab, which will form the base of the main hospital building.
Pre-cast columns and pre-cast lift and stair cores are being installed with four of the concrete stair and lift cores already visible from the M1, offering a sneak peek of what’s to come. Each core is made up of 38 individual cubes, each weighing more than 24 tonnes. Five more cores are still to be built, the main hospital will feature nine in total.
The detailed design for the new Coomera Hospital is well progressed, with feedback from the final round of Project User Group meetings now being incorporated to inform the final design components.
An Arts Working Group has progressed the art selection process for the hospital. A curatorial framework is being developed, along with consultation with a First Nations Consultant to progress the commissioning of artist for all First Nations and other art installation opportunities for the hospital. The commissioning of all artists will look to be complete by end of 2025.
Coomera Hospital is part of the Queensland Government’s Capacity Expansion Program (CEP), which includes three new hospitals and major expansions at 11 facilities across the state.
