Bribie Island will soon be home to its first hospital and it won’t be a small one either.
Local GPs Arti and Raahul Vaid’s plan to build a five storey integrated health facility at Bongaree has been approved by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
The new hospital will be built at a 4228 sqm site at Lot 8 Bongaree Ave, just 1.3km from the Bribie Island Bridge.
There is no hospital on Bribie Island at the moment – the closest is 26km away at Caboolture.
Health care services including pathology, x-ray, dental and specialist consulting rooms will be built on the ground level along with offices and food and drink outlets.
The 35-bed hospital will be on level one.
