Satellite Hospitals

Inertia is extremely proud to have partnered with Hutchinson Builders in delivering 4 of the 7 new Satellite Hospitals as part of Queensland Health’s Satellite Hospitals Program. These hospitals, located at Caboolture, Kallangur, Eight Mile Plains, Bribie Island, Redland Bay, Ripley, and Tugun, are part of a groundbreaking initiative aimed at providing convenient and community-focused healthcare services in fast-growing urban areas. This program helps reduce the strain on nearby hospitals by offering accessible care. Each facility features a single-storey building with medical consultation and procedure rooms, as well as on-grade parking. Inertia’s expertise contributed to designing efficient structural framing solutions to manage material costs effectively in the current market.

In addition to structural design, Inertia worked closely with the wider design team to provide tailored support solutions for critical healthcare equipment. Collaboration with architects, landscape architects, and traffic engineers was key to developing functional site layouts, with particular attention paid to overcoming the challenging topography at the Eight Mile Plains site. By balancing technical demands and site-specific conditions, Inertia played a critical role in ensuring the successful delivery of these vital community health facilities.
