Summary
ACT government unleashes a $1.34 billion hospital boom on Canberra’s north side — the biggest regional infrastructure push in a decade — with construction set to begin by 2027 and wrap by 2031. Replacing the aging 1979 North Canberra Hospital, the new campus will feature over 300 treatment spaces, a full emergency department with pediatric and mental health units, a 14-bed ICU, a birth center, eight ORs, and 200+ inpatient beds. Outpatient areas, a 700-space parking upgrade, and a 100-place childcare center round out the transformation. Multiplex is already on board for design and planning, while services relocate from the soon-to-be-demolished Calvary site. The goal? To ease pressure on southern hospitals and deliver world-class care for years to come. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
