New 600-Bed Coomera Hospital Moves Forward

The planned Coomera Hospital on the northern Gold Coast has reached a new milestone, with the Queensland Government announcing on 9 September 2026 that Multiplex has been appointed to deliver the project.

Where the project stands

Status: under construction (early works). According to the Queensland Government, major foundation works are already underway on site, including concrete pours, retaining works, remodelling of existing structures and bulk earthworks.

The government says the next phase — civil works, retaining walls, permanent stormwater tanks and work on a multi-storey car park — was expected to begin the month after the announcement.

From 400 to 600 beds

The Queensland Government states that an independent review found the earlier 400-bed plan was under-scoped and underfunded. Under its Hospital Rescue Plan, the project was rescoped to add 200 beds, bringing the total to 600.

Timeline

The government says the hospital will be delivered in stages from 2028, starting with the car park, with all 600 beds expected by 2032. As with any major project, timing may change.

Why it matters locally

The northern Gold Coast — including Coomera, Upper Coomera, Pimpama and surrounding suburbs — is one of the fastest-growing parts of Queensland. More hospital capacity closer to home is intended to reduce travel for local families and add capacity across the Gold Coast health system.
