The Royal Children’s Hospital site is set to be turned into a health hub, with Treasurer Tim Nicholls calling for registrations of interest from developers.
With patients being transferred to the new Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in South Brisbane by the end of the year, Mr Nicholls said it was time to determine how best to use the 4.8 hectare Herston site.
“We’re asking people to come to us and tell us how they think the site can be best used,” he said.
The new hub could include research facilities, apartments, cafes, fitness centres and day spas. Photo: Supplied
“We will look at what those proposals are, and work out what’s in the best interest of delivering a health precinct to Queenslanders.”
