What we're building
The Maryborough and District Hospital redevelopment is a mix of new building and refurbishment works. It included the construction of a new purpose-built facility to the south of the existing hospital.
The project delivered:
- an urgent care centre
- 32 inpatient beds
- a new maternity unit and birthing suites
- two operating theatres and recovery spaces
- a day medical centre including clinical imaging, pharmacy and pathology services
- consultant suites
- reception area
- 80 extra car parks.
Benefits
The Maryborough and District Hospital redevelopment aims to achieve the following benefits:
More capacity
The Maryborough and District Hospital redevelopment aims to meet the needs of central Victoria's growing population. The redevelopment means the hospital will be able to treat an extra 4,000 patients each year.
Improved health outcomes for the community
Better access to primary and community health services will provide more people with the care and treatment they need, leading to better health outcomes.
More support for mums
The new birthing suites and maternity beds mean that more mothers will be able to give birth closer to home, their family and loved ones.
Improved staff amenities
A contemporary hospital will provide a safe working environment for staff, promoting employee safety and wellbeing. This will support the Maryborough and District Hospital to recruit and retain staff, as well as continue their training and teaching.
Jobs for Victorians
The project created and sustained around 345 construction industry jobs.
Design
The project's design team worked closely with the Maryborough District Health Service to create a design that further enhances public, patient and staff hospital experience.
Consultation included:
- consultation with staff, patient and carers to ensure consume and user experience were considered
- consultation with representatives of the Dja Dja Wurrung community
- reviewing feedback from broader community.
Artists' impression of the hospital exterior, main entry and new clinical spaces can be viewed in our image gallery on this page.
Community engagement
Community survey
A community survey collected feedback on what the community would like to see in the hospital's communal waiting area, outdoor and terrace spaces. This includes artwork, plants and interactive activities.
The survey was published online on the Engage Victoria website from mid-June to mid-July 2022. The opportunity to get involved was promoted in local media and on social media. Hard copies were available from the hospital.
The feedback from the survey has been collated into a report. The report has been shared with the project team for consideration in the final design of the redevelopment.
Read the community survey report.
Community information session
A community information session was held in August 2022. The session gave the community a chance to see early designs and floor plans for the redevelopment. They were also able to speak to the project team to learn more about the redevelopment.
Construction
The Maryborough and District Hospital redevelopment is a major construction project.
It is expected there will be some temporary impacts that may affect the community during construction.
Temporary impacts may include:
- increased vehicle and people movement in the area
- temporary changes to access around the hospital site
- construction noise.
These impacts will be regularly monitored and managed.
The project team will work closely with neighbouring residents, businesses and Council to minimise construction impacts where possible, and understand any issues or concerns.
Work hours
Local council bylaws allow construction works to take place between the hours of 7.00am - 8.00pm on Monday to Friday, and 9.00am - 6.00pm Saturday.
Wherever possible, noise generating activities will be scheduled during normal working hours.
Some out-of-hours works may be required throughout construction and will be subject to After Hours Permits being granted by the Council. Neighbouring residents and businesses will be contacted.
