Multi-Million Dollar Angliss Expansion One Step Closer
The Allan Labor Government is getting on with delivering world-class healthcare for families in Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs, with the bigger and better Angliss Hospital reaching structural completion.
Minister for Health Infrastructure Melissa Horne, Member for Monbulk Daniela de Martino and Member for Bayswater Jackson Taylor today visited the construction site to celebrate the massive project milestone for the $112 million project – which, once complete, will increase the capacity for more surgeries close to home.
Once complete, the new four-storey building will be home to an additional 32-bed inpatient unit, four operating theatres, an upgraded central sterile supply department, spaces for outpatient services and more carparking for patients and families.
The expansion is set to increase the number of surgeries delivered by the hospital, reducing wait times and ensuring more locals can access the care they need, when they need it.
With major structural works for the tower complete, the internal fit-out of the space will now commence and the striking exterior facade will be lifted into place.
The four-storey hospital tower is made up of more than 4,200 cubic metres of concrete – the equivalent of more than 422,000 bags of concrete from Bunnings – and 490 tonnes of steel reinforcement.
Delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority alongside Eastern Health, architects Silver Thomas Hanley and builder Kane Constructions – the upgraded Angliss Hospital is on track to be completed in 2026.
The expansion builds on previous investments from the Allan Labor Government, including $20 million in 2018 to deliver a new 14-bed Intensive Care Unit and refurbished adult short stay unit and paediatric emergency area.
As stated by Minister for Health Infrastructure Melissa Horne
“The Angliss Hospital expansion will transform healthcare in the outer eastern suburbs – meaning more locals will be able to get the best possible care for years to come.”
As stated by Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas
“The expansion of Angliss Hospital will give our incredible nurses, doctors and hospital staff the modern facilities they need to do what they do best – care for our community.”
As stated by Member for Monbulk Daniela De Martino
“The bigger and better Angliss Hospital will significantly benefit our community and provide even more world-class healthcare right on our doorstep.”
As stated by Member for Bayswater Jackson Taylor
“The topping out of the Angliss Hospital redevelopment marks a significant milestone for this project – it’s fantastic to see the new facilities coming to life.”
