Multiplex Constructions was appointed as the Managing Contractor for the new Coomera Hospital in June 2023. The project team has commenced schematic design phase, expanding upon earlier high-level concept designs. This will be followed by detailed design. Before the main construction phase can begin, the schematic and detailed design phases of the project and a value-for-money guaranteed construction price need to be agreed and completed.
The site for the new Coomera Hospital was purchased by Queensland Health in 2008, identified for its optimal size, scalability, and strategic location between the Gold Coast University Hospital and Logan Hospital. Key features of this location include:
- its accessibility via roads and public transport
- safe positioning from flood-prone areas
- ease of access to the M1 motorway
- proximity to residential areas
