Geraldton Health Campus redevelopment reaches new heights

Main works on the $166 million Geraldton Health Campus redevelopment are well underway with the site now boasting an impressive multi-level structure.

Works are currently focused on the concrete slab pours including the upper-floor and roof-suspended slabs, as well as stairways and lift core. Next steps include the ground-level slab being extended through to the existing hospital and the commencement of first-floor columns.

The redevelopment is also putting local jobs front and centre, with a focus on securing contracts for local contractors and trades worth more than $5 million.

Seven Midwest businesses are supporting the redevelopment, including HTD Surveyors, Abrolhos Steel, Protect Security, Sun City Plumbers who are delivering inground services, and Crothers Construction who are delivering demolition services and earthworks.

Importantly, the project is also creating opportunities for local Aboriginal suppliers, with Oaks Civil Construction engaged to deliver traffic management and site cleaning services through Ronan Commercial Cleaning.

Once complete, the redeveloped Geraldton Health Campus will feature an expanded emergency department, a new intensive care unit and high dependency unit, as well as an integrated mental health service comprising an adult mental health inpatient unit and a mental health short-stay unit.
