Coomera Hospital

Queensland’s $1.3 billion Coomera Hospital project is in full swing, with building foundations now being laid.

This critical phase of construction involves installing concrete footings that will support the main hospital buildings.

The first major concrete pour will require three pumps and 30 trucks per hour over seven hours to achieve the 1,200 cubic metres that will be for the lift cores for the main hospital building.

This effort will ensure a strong and stable foundation for the 404-bed hospital, which is set to alleviate pressure on the Gold Coast University Hospital and Robina Hospital and bring world-class health care closer to home for the northern Gold Coast community. 

Situated on elevated land adjoining the Coomera Train Station, the hospital is easily accessible for the community. 

The project team is working closely with clinicians, consumers and community representatives to inform both the design and the models of care for the future facility. 

Coomera Hospital is a key component of the Queensland Government’s $14 billion Health Big Build, delivering new and expanded hospitals across Queensland. This means more than 3,000 new hospital beds for Queenslanders. 

The project’s design is progressing in tandem with early works on-site, with detailed design now 80 per cent complete. 

The project is expected to be finished late 2027, with main construction scheduled to begin in 2025. 

Queensland Minister for Health, Mental Health and Ambulance Services and Minister for Women, Shannon Fentiman, said, “It’s exciting to see the significant work underway to bring our brand-new, state-of-the-art hospital to life. 

“The Gold Coast population is continuing to grow, which is why we’re building more beds so the community can continue accessing the healthcare they need for generations to come.”

Gold Coast Health Executive Director for Infrastructure Project Delivery and Commissioning, Richard Christensen, said, “The commencement of the concrete footings, as well the achievement of reaching 80 per cent completion on detailed design, marks critical milestones for this project.

“The new Coomera Hospital will be a facility that will benefit the whole community, alleviating pressure across Gold Coast Health’s entire network, particularly for Gold Coast University Hospital and Robina Hospital.

“The 404-bed facility will also bring new services and enhance health care accessibility for the Northern Corridor, one of Australia’s fastest-growing populations.”
