Redcliffe Hospital is set for a more visible period of construction as work ramps up on a $1.1 billion expansion that will reshape parts of the Anzac Avenue campus and increase healthcare capacity for the growing Moreton Bay region.
Construction To Become More Visible At Redcliffe Hospital
Early works are underway on a $36 million upgrade of the hospital’s existing multi-storey car park, with construction activity expected to increase in the coming weeks.
The upgrade will add more than 530 parking spaces through a three-level extension, including disability parking bays and motorcycle parking bays. Richard Crooks Construction is expected to begin main works on the car park in July, with completion expected by the end of 2027.
The car park expansion is aimed at meeting current and future parking demand at the hospital campus, where growth in local health services is expected to place further pressure on access and movement around the site.
More Beds And Clinical Services For Redcliffe
Beyond the car park, the wider Redcliffe Hospital expansion will deliver at least 210 new overnight beds. The first beds are expected from late 2027, with full completion expected in 2032.
The redevelopment also includes expanded maternity, endoscopy and operating theatre services. The hospital’s re-design went to tender in March, with a construction partner for the main hospital works expected to be appointed in coming months.
The project is also focused on better use of the site, improved service delivery and design that supports the safety of nurses, doctors and healthcare workers.
Growing Demand Across Moreton Bay
Redcliffe Hospital serves the Redcliffe peninsula and nearby suburbs including Deception Bay, North Lakes, Murrumba Downs, Kallangur and Brighton.
Its catchment currently covers about 190,000 residents, with that population expected to reach 275,000 by 2046. The wider Moreton Bay region is home to more than half a million people, making the hospital a key health facility for one of Queensland’s fastest-growing areas.
The expansion is intended to increase clinical capacity and support more care closer to home as demand continues to rise across the region.
Several early works have already been completed across the hospital campus, including modular office accommodation, pedestrian and shuttle bus pathways, Recreation Street pathway works, new logistics pathways, a new Pharmacy Store and Confidential Waste works.
The hospital is located on the traditional lands of the Kabi Kabi people. The expansion is planned to avoid impact to the culturally significant tree on site.
As the car park works become more visible, the Redcliffe Hospital expansion is moving from planning and early works into a stage residents are more likely to notice on the ground. The larger changes will unfold over several years, with new beds, expanded services and additional parking forming the core of the hospital’s long-term upgrade.
