New Coomera Hospital expands to 600 beds as new planning phase begins
The new Coomera Hospital will now be delivered with about 600 overnight beds, following the release of the Queensland Government’s , after an independent review into health infrastructure planning and delivery.
The revised scope reflects sustained growth in the northern corridor and confirms Coomera’s role as a cornerstone of the region’s long-term health infrastructure.
The expansion will allow 星空体育 to consolidate services into a purpose-built site, enabling more cohesive planning and stronger long-term outcomes for the community.
星空体育 will continue to work closely with Health Infrastructure Queensland as the Coomera planning reset progresses.
The current design has been developed to date through Project User Groups, with valuable input from clinical and support staff. This input will guide the re-planning process to incorporate the additional beds, with teams continuing to shape the future of the project.

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.
