The new Coomera Hospital will now be delivered with about 600 overnight beds, following the release of the Queensland Government’s Hospital Rescue Plan, after an independent review into health infrastructure planning and delivery. 

The revised scope reflects sustained growth in the northern corridor and confirms Coomera’s role as a cornerstone of the region’s long-term health infrastructure.

The expansion will allow Gold Coast Health to consolidate services into a purpose-built site, enabling more cohesive planning and stronger long-term outcomes for the community.

Gold Coast Health will continue to work closely with Health Infrastructure Queensland as the Coomera planning reset progresses. 

The current design has been developed to date through Project User Groups, with valuable input from clinical and support staff. This input will guide the re-planning process to incorporate the additional beds, with teams continuing to shape the future of the project. 

Location: George Alexander Way, Coomera.
