The project is expected to create 3,120 construction jobs and aims to provide a wide range of medical services and facilities for the local community.

Queensland Minister for Mental Health, Health and Ambulance Services Shannon Fentiman said: “Our massive A$9.78bn investment is delivering new hospitals and thousands of new hospital beds right across Queensland, including in Toowoomba.

“We know Toowoomba is a major hub for a number of rural and regional communities in the Darling Downs region, and that is why this investment is so important.

“It will deliver new and expanded healthcare to the Darling Downs region to cater to its growing population, and ensure the community has access to the health services they need for decades to come.

“Importantly, this new hospital will bring a range of health services closer to home for the community, reducing the need for patients to travel outside the region for more specialised care.”
