Building for communities

The Victorian Government has committed to building community hospitals across Victoria, supporting growing communities and providing better access to many important ‘everyday’ health services closer to home.

Delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority (VHBA), the $800M Community Hospitals Program will include the redevelopment of existing facilities and the new build of additional facilities that will improve the way public healthcare is delivered.

The locations of the new community hospital sites are:

Cranbourne
Craigieburn
Phillip island
Sunbury
Eltham Area
Pakenham
Point Cook
Torquay
City of Whittlesea
Inner south of Melbourne
Mernda
Point Cook

Improving access to health services

In the initial planning stages of this project, WSP was engaged to deliver the masterplanning and feasibility phases of the program. Following these phases, we were appointed to the delivery phases of the program.

The scope of work involves a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing:

Structural and civil engineering
Building services
Sustainability advisory services
Fire safety engineering
Technology services

These community hospitals will reduce pressure on major public hospitals and improve access to locally available public health care services in growing communities across Victoria.
