Main procurement for the expansion will commence in early 2026, with the first new beds expected to open from late 2027. The full project is scheduled for completion by 2032.
The finalised masterplan marks an important milestone for the project. Queensland Health Implementation Lead Sam Sangster said the department has been working closely with Metro North Health and local clinicians to ensure the expansion meets the genuine needs of the community.
The planning process has taken time to get right, with a focus on creating sustainable infrastructure that properly serves staff, clinicians, patients and their families well into the future.
What’s Included in the Expansion
The Redcliffe Hospital expansion will deliver substantial improvements across multiple areas of healthcare service delivery.
At least 210 new overnight beds will be added to the hospital’s capacity, addressing growing demand from the peninsula’s expanding population.
Maternity services will be enhanced as part of the expansion, with improved facilities designed to support expectant mothers and families.
The expansion will also deliver enhanced endoscopy services, allowing for increased capacity in diagnostic procedures.
Additional operating theatres will form part of the development, enabling the hospital to perform more surgical procedures.
Car Park Extension Underway
Work is already beginning on a separate project—a three-level extension to the hospital’s multi-storey car park. This expansion will deliver more than 530 new parking spaces by 2027.
The car park project, valued at $36 million, has been awarded to Richard Crookes Construction. The additional parking will improve accessibility to the hospital.
Timeline and Next Steps
With the masterplan now finalised, the project enters its next phase. Registration of interest for contractors to deliver the main construction works opened in November 2025 and closed on 21 November, with the procurement process set to begin in early 2026.
The project will be delivered in stages. The first beds will open from late 2027, with the full project completing by 2032.

Queensland Health has emphasised that the planning has been comprehensive, incorporating feedback from clinicians and healthcare workers who will ultimately use the facilities. The masterplan also addresses earlier concerns, including the protection of a culturally significant tree on the site.
