Frankston Hospital redevelopment - Newsletter #4 | April 2024
Welcome to our autumn 2024 Frankston Hospital redevelopment newsletter!
A hive of activity on-site
The construction site is a hive of activity, with more than 450 workers on site each day.
Work has now started to pour the ninth floor of the main tower and the installation of internal services has started on the lower levels.
Frankston Hospital staff are already able to enjoy some of the benefits of the redevelopment, with teams moving into new administrative spaces which were upgraded as part of the emergency department refurbishment and expansion. These works will now focus on construction of a new emergency short stay unit and a new emergency department entrance.
Construction progress:
- level eight of the main tower structure completed and level nine underway
- internal structural works and services installation underway in basement, level one, level two, and level three (main tower)
- structural works on the multi-deck carpark completed
- multi-deck carpark façade installation underway.

A guide to your new hospital
Your new hospital has been designed with functionality in mind to ensure optimal flow and efficiency for staff, patients and visitors.
The design offers connections between the new hospital building and the existing, on levels one through to four.

Energy Efficiency and Solar Program
The Victorian Government's Energy Efficiency and Solar Program, supported by a $40 million investment, is driving sustainable progress in health services statewide.
The program will install solar panels and improve energy efficiency in public hospitals, aged care facilities, and ambulance stations. By upgrading lighting, enhancing building management systems, and transitioning to electric infrastructure, the program aims to substantially reduce energy consumption and emissions while maintaining or enhancing healthcare service quality.
