Bundaberg Hospital plans released for public feedback

Plans for the new $1.2 billion Bundaberg Hospital have been released, with the State Government calling on residents to offer their feedback. See the images.

The State Government has officially unveiled floor plans for the new Bundaberg Hospital.

The hospital, which is being built on Kay McDuff Drive, will feature level five facilities.

Images of the floor plan provide a snapshot of what the community can expect.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is encouraging Bundaberg residents to provide feedback on the updated concept plans as the hospital development enters a new phase.

“We’ve committed $1.2 billion for a brand new hospital which will deliver more than 120 extra beds and greatly expand the range of health services available to local residents,” she said.

“Construction of the new hospital will deliver an important boost to the local economy, while supporting an estimated 2887 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.”

The new hospital will include:

• Additional beds across medical, surgical, intensive care, coronary care, paediatric and mental health;
• Additional operating theatres;
• Additional Emergency Department treatment spaces;
• Additional outpatient consult areas;
• Expansion of medical imaging, pharmacy and pathology; and
• Expansion of education and training areas, and facility support services.
