Minister for Housing Meaghan Scanlon said: “The Gold Coast is one of Queensland’s fastest growing areas, and our government is making the necessary investments to keep pace with that growth.

“This is one of many health projects the Palaszczuk Government has committed on the Gold Coast thanks to the A$2.1bn health investment announced in the Budget.

“This is more than a 100% increase in health funding for the Gold Coast since 2015.

“It joins the Gold Coast university Hospital sub-acute expansion, Gold Coast Secure Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit with 40 beds, Tugun Satellite Hospital and expansions to Robina Hospital that will deliver 134 new beds.”
