WHITTLESEA: Sod turned at Northern Hospital
Works have started on the State Government’s redevelopment of the Northern Hospital – with stage one set to deliver a new Ambulatory Care Centre.
Premier Jacinta Allan (pictured), Health Infrastructure Minister Melissa Horne and Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas turned the first sod on the redevelopment on Suynday (May 4). It expand Victoria’s busiest emergency department.
Expected to be complete in mid-2026, the new four-storey building will provide a dedicated space for outpatient and ambulatory services, clinical care and hospital administration.
Once the Ambulatory Care Centre is complete, stage two will deliver a new emergency department and inpatient unit tower.
