CPB Contractors’ subsidiary Broad Construction, a member of the CIMIC Group, has been selected by Queensland Health to build the new Rockhampton Hospital Adult Mental Health Inpatient Unit building as part of a significant expansion and refurbishment project.
The new Adult Mental Health Inpatient Unit building project is being delivered as part of the Queensland State government’s long-term building replacement strategy within the larger Queensland Health Big Build program. With a commitment to expand health services in the region, these works will increase capacity at the hospital to a total of 32 beds, consisting of 25 general acute beds, and seven high-dependency beds.
CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said: “Broad Construction is experienced in building world-class health facilities, and we’re pleased to bring this to the Queensland Health Big Build. This state-of-the-art facility will provide high quality treatment and care to more people in the growing Central Queensland community.”
Broad Construction General Manager Cyril Cahill said: “Working with Queensland Health, our expert team will prioritise the needs of the hospital staff, patients and community to safely deliver a new mental health facility for the region, while ensuring minimal disruption to the daily operations of the hospital. We look forward to maximising the local social and economic benefits with a focus on creating employment, training and business opportunities for the community.”
The Rockhampton Hospital Adult Mental Health Inpatient Unit project includes a new 32-bed acute mental health building, the decommissioning of the existing high-dependency and low-dependency units, a refurbished clinical administration and support unit, staff and visitor parking, co-located therapy spaces and support system upgrades.
Works on the Rockhampton Hospital Adult Mental Health Inpatient Unit are due for completion in October 2026.
