Abstract

The Gold Coast, located in South East Queensland, is home to Australia's largest public health infrastructure project to date. A dedicated project team applied innovative project management skills to deliver four complex projects concurrently; within the approved budgets and contract time; to a quality standard recognised nationally and internationally. Fast tracking of project delivery effectively reduced timeframes through risk managing the concurrent delivery of Health Service Planning, Project Definition Plans and Schematic and Developed Design processes, which are traditionally completed as sequential programmes of work. This paper describes best practice project delivery methodology, learnings and achievements in the delivery of world-class health infrastructure, on both brown- and greenfield sites. It also explores an ethos of teamwork and partnering that created opportunity and integrated risk management priorities, which gave comfort and confidence to the Queensland Government and all key stakeholders.

Keywords: hospital construction; hospital commissioning; project governance; partnering
