Multiplex Constructions has been awarded the tender to lead the design stage of a new $1.3 billion hospital on Queensland’s Gold Coast and is working with ICN Qld to expose local companies to a raft of opportunities.
The Coomera hospital is part of the State Government’s Capacity Expansion Program, which ensure residents of some of Queensland’s fast-growing regions have access to world-class health care.
It will deliver 404 new beds, including surgical, medical, ambulatory, sub-acute and mental health inpatient beds to the community.
The hospital will also provide emergency department treatment spaces and a satellite medical imaging department, alongside new operating theatres, endoscopy rooms, birthing suites, consult rooms, and mental health support services.
Speciality services will also be available at the new hospital including intensive care, coronary care and a special care nursery.
With the population catchment around the new hospital is expected to almost double by 2036, the masterplan will provide for further expansion of services to ensure the growing community’s needs continue to be met.
Construction will include a:
- 12-storey hospital building of about 63,000m2
- 10,000m2 facility support centre
- stand-alone crisis stabilisation unit for mental health services
According to Gold Coast Health, the project will deliver more than 3,100 construction job opportunities.
Multiplex is calling for expressions of interest (EOI) against a wide range of work packages and encourages local industry interested in supplying to the project to lodge and EOI.
Apart from general EOIs, current open work packages include:
- auditorium theatre seating
- clean rooms
- cool rooms
- commercial kitchen and laundry equipment
- masonry and joinery
- metal fabrication
- structure steel
- hydraulic services
