History
In July 2012, Minister for Health Lawrence Springborg from the Newman Ministry of the Queensland Government appointed the Exemplar Health consortium comprising Lend Lease, Capella Capital, Siemens and Spotless to deliver the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) as a public–private partnership.[2] Construction began in October 2012.[3] It opened in March 2017 with 450 beds, this is expected to increase to 738 by 2021. It was the first teaching hospital to open in Australia for 20 years.[4][5] It cost $1.8 billion.[6] The hospital was designed by Sunshine Coast Architects, a partnership between Architects Brisbane and HDR Rice Daubney of Sydney.
