- main hospital building with a rooftop helipad
- 121 new beds, with more single rooms for patient privacy and comfort
- a larger emergency department
- acute services, including medical, surgical, intensive care, mental health, maternity, paediatric care and renal services
- a larger range of outpatient and diagnostic services
- more operating theatres and recovery spaces
- clinical support spaces for medical imaging, pharmacy, sterile services, outpatients, mortuary and pathology
- teaching, training and research spaces.
A Ministerial Infrastructure Designation (MID) decision was gazetted on the project in March 2024. More information about the MID process can be found on the Department of Housing, Local Government, Planning and Public works website.
