PROJECT HISTORY
| Jun 2022 | The project was confirmed as having been funded through the Capacity Expansion Program. |
| Oct 2022 | Expressions of Interest to join a prequalified panel to deliver Capacity Expansion Program projects was released. |
| Jun 2023 | The Queensland Government awarded Multiplex Constructions the Stage One Managing Contractor contract to deliver the $1.3 billion New Coomera Hospital. |
| Oct 2023 | Turner & Townsend was awarded the Cost Management contract for the project. |
| Apr 2025 | The Queensland Government released its Hospital Rescue Plan and response to the 42 recommendations made by the Independent Review of Queensland Health’s Capacity Expansion Program. The Review recommended pausing delivery of the New Coomera Hospital and rescoping it by reviewing the planned approach to supplement capacity at the Robina Hospital. The Government has accepted the recommendation and has committed to delivering 600 beds at the Coomera Hospital – rather than 400 beds at Coomera supplemented by 200 leased beds at Robina Hospital. The Review also confirmed the project's total estimated cost, as originally scoped, has increased from $1.3 billion to $2.3 billion, however, this is subject to change through the re-planning process. |
