2 New Coomera Hospital: A Game Changer for Local Health The Crisafulli Government is delivering for the Gold Coast with the release of the improved masterplan for the new Coomera Hospital, paving the way for construction to progress quickly throughout 2026 as part of the fully funded Hospital Rescue Plan. The new hospital will be delivered in two stages, featuring an emergency department, intensive care unit, operating theatres, maternity services, a multi-storey carpark, and more. Stage One will deliver 400 beds, along with acute and specialist services, by 2031, with an additional 200 beds to follow the next year. Additionally, Stage One will include: - Dedicated Paediatrics, Rehabilitation, and Mental Health IPUs. - Imaging, Pathology, Pharmacy, CSSD. - Allied Health, Outpatients, Education, Administration. - Back-of-house services: Supply, Food Services and BEMS. Stage Two will include: - Day Surgery and Procedure Centre - Minor Injuries Clinic - Renal dialysis - Day medical unit - Day oncology unit - Nuclear medicine - Dedicated palliative care IPU - Operating Theatres + Endoscopy Suite. Once built, the Coomera Hospital will also now include multi-storey carparking and well-planned connections to public transport making it easier for patients, visitors and staff travelling to and from the facility. This project is part of the Government’s commitment to restoring health services when Queenslanders need them most, after a decade of decline that contributed to Labor’s health crisis.
