Sunshine Coast Private Hospital Under Way

Work has got under way on a $100-million private hospital in one of Australia’s hottest growth spots.

The 10-storey Maroochy Private Hospital in the Maroochydore greenfield CBD development is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

Developed by Fortius Healthcare and Barwon Investment Partners, the 11,876sq m private hospital will provide multiple surgical specialties alongside multi-disciplinary healthcare services with comprehensive pain management, sports medicine and allied health.

The facility is being built by McNab and will join the award-winning Sunshine Coast Council City Hall as the second project to be delivered by the McNab in the CBD development.

McNab founder Michael McNab said the project would generate about 2000 jobs during the 24-month build.

“The building design incorporates a unique glazed facade with the main fire stairs providing a column of natural light between the hospital floors,” he said.

“Surgeons, doctors and other medical staff often spend extended periods working in artificial light and this unique building feature has been thoughtfully integrated into the design by architects, HSPC.”

The Maroochy Private Hospital will be delivered under the new Greenstar rating tool Green Star Buildings and will be delivered to a Best Practice 4-star rating.

This rating considers clean air, light quality, healthy building materials, acoustic comfort and connection to nature.

Fortius Healthcare adjunct professor Daevyd Rodda said the new hospital would bring “world-class services to the community including six fully integrated operating theatres and luxurious ward accommodation for 45 in-patients”.

“The Maroochy Private Hospital will also be a research and innovation hub, with anchor tenants including the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) and leading international orthopaedic company, Medacta.”  

Tenants have already accounted for about 75 per cent of space in the hospital.

Maroochy Private Hospital is the 10th project to begin in the Maroochydore City Centre, Australia’s largest greenfield CBD, with seven projects completed and three currently under way.

The city centre will continue to be built over the next 15 to 20 years as part of an historic agreement between the Sunshine Coast Council, Walker Corporation and SunCentral Maroochydore.

The population of the Sunshine Coast grew by more than 79,000 people between 2011 and 2021, and is forecast to grow to more than 500,000 people by 2041.
