PLANS have been released and feedback is being sought for the new Toowoomba Hospital on the Baillie Henderson Hospital campus.

The Toowoomba Hospital Redevelopment Project plans have been released online, outlining the timeline of the redevelopment, hospital designs and technology advancements, with a detailed business case to be presented to the Queensland Government in late 2020 for consideration.

Baillie Henderson Hospital is the selected site for the Toowoomba Hospital Redevelopment Project, a 75-hectare tree lined site to the city's north.

The vision is for a strikingly beautiful campus that includes open, natural tree lined spaces interconnecting heritage buildings, multi-disciplinary health services, research, education, commercial, and community recreation spaces.

The hospital will deliver new and expanded health care services to the region to cater for its growing population, provide access to the latest medical technologies, create an environment that promotes health and wellbeing and set the hospital up for a sustainable future. 

Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise health general manager Jaden Frame said the project had the ability to generate 4000 jobs for the region.

"TSBE supports the new Toowoomba Hospital on the Baillie Henderson Hospital campus and will continue to advocate strongly for the funding approval later this year," Mr Frame said.

"The new hospital will have more beds, treatment areas, Emergency Department spaces and operating theatres to cater for the region's growing population and health care needs.

"This project not only is keeping up with the demand for health services as Toowoomba's population grows but will also create localised treatment for conditions requiring health services that are not currently offered at Toowoomba Hospital."

Darling Downs Health are currently seeking feedback on the new health services and facilities proposed for the new Toowoomba Hospital, with locals able to complete a survey online of register for an online session.
