Estimated to cost $60m for construction, the two-storey facility will mark the country’s ninth free-standing children’s rehabilitation hospital.

The state government has already allocated $10m in appropriations activity for this project, earlier this month.

It will be located on Wealthy Street across from Mary Free Bed’s main campus with a pedestrian walkway connecting the hospitals.

The 67,000ft2 facility will comprise 24 private inpatient rooms, spaces for specialised services, advanced technology for children outpatient treatment areas, indoor and outdoor recreation spots, and a classroom for a certified teacher.
