Businesses announced for $30m health hub coming to Springwood

Construction has started for the Springwood’s $30 million one-stop health hub, and the first three businesses moving in have been announced.

A Logan Councillor has announced the first three businesses on board to move in to the $30 million Springwood Health Hub, when construction is complete at the end of next year.

Councillor for Division 1, Cr Lisa Bradley, attended the turning of the sod for the seven story development at 4 Paxton Street, Springwood this week.

Cr Bradley said Springwood Health Hub is set to be completed by late 2022.

“This project will deliver high quality medical specialist services to the people of the City of Logan, a subject I am truly passionate about,” she said.

“Since the 2016 Springwood Summit, Logan City Council has delivered a number of projects in Springwood’s commercial hub to increase economic development opportunities.

“The Springwood Health Hub is one example of these projects and heralds the start of more development to come within Springwood’s commercial centre.

“The hub will be a welcome addition to the area serving as a catalyst for jobs and providing easier access to specialty health and wellbeing facilities.”

Cr Bradley also announced the confirmed tenants for the building.

My Health Springwood will be moving in to the tower, providing a general practitioner service.

Springwood Gastro Centre, a brand new twin-theatre purpose-built facility, will also be moving in. The first of its kind in the local area.

Imed Radiology will be bringing with it the local areas first MRI machine.

Cr Bradley said it was an exciting development with a food and drink outlet along with office space, shops, and an underground car park included.

“Previous councils have said they wanted it to be the second CBD for the state,” Cr Bradley said.

Brisbane developer Rogerscorp, headed by innovator Simon Rogers, is behind the seven-storey building for Springwood.

It has previously been reported that once built, the health hub would stem the need for thousands of Logan residents to travel to Brisbane for medical treatment.

“More than 75 per cent of residents leave Logan every year for medical treatment,” Mr Rogers said.

“This is going to change the way people access medical care and will make it easier for many patients especially with all the on-site parking.”

Statistics from National Australia Bank and Quantium, prepared for the project, showed 63 per cent of the healthcare transactions made by Logan residents last year were in Brisbane.
