Redevelopment of Mackay base hospital

AREA3 project managed the $430+ million redevelopment of the Mackay Base Hospital for Queensland Health. The project consisted of a number of sequenced stages to allow for the continued operation of the hospital throughout the redevelopment. This staging including intensive strategizing to provide zero disruption to hospital operations during the completion of the project. The redevelopment included the installation of a new emergency department, outpatient’s department, delivery suites, special care nursery, intensive care, coronary care unit and more. Nearly doubling the capacity of the hospital due the redevelopment has ensured that quality health service can be provided to the expanding Mackay and Bowen Basin region.

Project management:

• Overseeing the large scale redevelopment of a major working hospital.
• Intensive strategizing with Queensland Health to plan a staged delivery which would not interrupt ongoing functions.
