Another exciting addition to Robina’s thriving medical precinct
Looking out our windows at The Rocket, the insideR team got a little excited this month when we spied the temporary fencing and site sheds as they appeared on site in Campus Crescent.
Construction is now under way on the 3,920sqm site which was acquired by the Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust in early 2016.
On completion (scheduled for the end of April 2018), this exciting new medical development will include a 1,550 sqm medical centre incorporating a general practice, radiology, pathology, dental and pharmacy together with 75 car parking spaces for visitors.
The medical centre is to be leased to Primary Health Care for a term of 15 years from practical completion. Primary is the operator of 71 medical centres around Australia and we understand it will occupy the entire building.
Chris Smith, Head of Healthcare Property, said the acquisitions brought together plans for developing a significant healthcare precinct at Robina.
“The healthcare precinct at Robina, currently anchored by the Robina Hospital and Queensland Health’s Robina Health Precinct, is a premium, emerging location on the Gold Coast for health related investment.
“Robina is a fast-growing suburb in the Gold Coast region of Queensland, with a population of more than 600,000″.
Mr Smith added that Australian Unity continues to be an active long term investor in building and improving Australia’s social infrastructure.
“As the demand for healthcare services increases in line with Australia’s rapidly ageing population we have prioritised expanding, improving and upgrading the HPT’s existing hospitals and medical centres to meet this demand.
“HPT is Australia’s largest healthcare property fund, and is Australian owned with decisions made locally. Its portfolio of 39 health-care related properties across Australia includes hospitals, medical clinics, day surgeries, consulting rooms and specialist centres such as radiology and pathology,” Mr Smith said.
Construction of the brand new Robina Primary Health Care centre is being undertaken by Woollem Constructions who also completed the refurbishment works on the nearby Robina Professional Centre.
