Satellite Hospitals

Inertia provided services for 4 of the 7 new Satellite Hospitals as part of Queensland Health’s initiative. These hospitals, located at Caboolture, Kallangur, Eight Mile Plains, Bribie Island, Redland Bay, Ripley, and Tugun, aim to provide convenient and community-focused healthcare services in fast-growing urban areas, reducing the strain on nearby hospitals. 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 addition to structural design, Inertia worked closely with architects, landscape architects, and traffic engineers to develop 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.
