The Queensland Government has completed a new masterplan for the Gold Coast, guiding the next phase of construction for the new Coomera Hospital, scheduled to commence in the second half of 2026 as part of the Hospital Rescue Plan (HRP) investment in health infrastructure.
The new hospital will feature at least 600 new overnight beds, with the first beds due to be completed in 2031.
Extensive re-planning and redesign means procuring contractors to deliver the first stage will begin early in the new year before main construction activities kick off.
The first stage will deliver 400 beds, an emergency department, operating theatres, maternity and special care nursery and mental health inpatient units.
The second stage will add an extra 200 beds, day surgery facilities and other services such as renal dialysis, oncology, a minor injuries clinic and palliative care unit.
Once built, the Coomera Hospital will also include multi-storey carparking and well-planned connections to public transport to make it easier for patients, visitors and staff travelling to and from the facility.
The new Coomera Hospital is a core part of the Queensland Government’s HRP to deliver more than 2,600 new beds across the state.
Stage one early works are already underway on the Coomera site and planning for the expanded facility will continue in partnership with Health Infrastructure Queensland.
Existing insights from Project User Groups and other clinical engagement activities will help guide the next stage of development.
The masterplan is a fully-funded and credible plan backed by the necessary funding and support that consolidates vital healthcare services at a purpose-built site to cater to this very fast-growing part of the south east corner.
More beds at the new Coomera Hospital will provide care closer to home while taking pressure off the busy local health system.
