The Premier said: “Construction of the new hospital will deliver an important boost to the local economy, while supporting an estimated 2,887 jobs which is what my government is all about.

“Hospital staff, patients and the broader community have already had input to the hospital business case and they can now have their say on the updated concept plans.”

Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said the increase in the height of the hospital is a key change incorporated in the updated plan.

D’Ath said: “With an ageing local population more people are presenting to our hospitals with more complex conditions, including those with walking difficulties.

“With that in mind, it’s proposed to increase the height from a three-storey to a six-storey hospital to improve accessibility and reduce walking distances for patients.

“The project team has also incorporated the latest infection control, technology and inpatient accommodation learnings which have resulted from the Covid-19 pandemic.”
