Pindara Bulldozes into a New Future

2009

The $60 million redevelopment of Pindara Private Hospital has begun with the demolition of the Hospital’s outer buildings now underway to allow for the construction of a multi storey carpark, specialist suites, four additional theatres and a 50 bed accommodation ward.

Hospital Chief Executive Officer, Trish Hogan said the commencement of this significant redevelopment was a very exciting time for the hospital, which has been a leading provider of emergency, medical, surgical and maternity services on the Gold Coast for over 35 years.

“This redevelopment will provide additional health services for people of the Gold Coast, as well as expanding those already in existence to meet growing demand,” Ms Hogan said.

"Pindara was constructed in 1971 and has undergone smaller renovations and extensions over the years but this will be the most significant development at the hospital since it was opened.”

Pindara Private Hospital is owned and operated by Ramsay Health Care, Australia’s largest and most respected operator of private hospitals.

Ms Hogan said: “Our staff and doctors are looking forward to being able to expand the services we provide with this new development.”

The redevelopment has been awarded to ADCO Construction Services, a prominent Australian building firm and will be completed by December 2010.

Ms Hogan said everything possible was being done to minimise disruption during this period. To help navigate building works, Pindara has appointed traffic controllers to minimise inconvenience to patients and visitors.
