Project name
Frankston Hospital Redevelopment
Status
Contract let
Department and agency
Victorian Health Building Authority in conjunction with Peninsula Health
Description
The redevelopment and expansion of the Frankston Hospital will deliver a new multi-storey tower with additional bed capacity, new operating theatres, enhanced mental health and oncology services along with expanded maternity and paediatric services. The redevelopment will also include a new car park and two state-wide emergency department initiatives: a five-bed emergency department mental health, alcohol and other drugs hub, and a dedicated paediatric zone.
Once completed, the redeveloped hospital will have modern facilities, amenities and equipment that will support the delivery of enhanced care and patient and staff wellbeing. Increased service capacity will provide more access for people living locally, improving wait times and enabling patients to access more clinical support services closer to home.
The Frankston Hospital Redevelopment will be delivered as an availability public private partnership under the Partnerships Victoria framework. The private consortium will design, construct, finance and maintain the new facility.
Frankston Hospital will remain a public hospital, with all clinical health services operated by Peninsula Health.
A consortium comprising Lendlease, Honeywell, Compass Group and Capella Capital has been awarded the contract. Construction of the main works is expected to be complete by the end of 2025, with the redevelopment operational in 2026. Following this will be some further refurbishment works of the existing hospital and the construction of a childcare centre and community centre.
