The Brief

Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service (GCHHS) engaged FARA to refurbish the existing Child and Youth Mental Health tenancy at the Southport Health Precinct, transforming it into a new facility for the Acute Mental Health team.

The project involved internal reconfiguration, demolition and upgrades to mechanical, electrical and lighting services, alongside new joinery, workstations and staff facilities.

Delivered within a live hospital environment, the works required careful planning and coordination to minimise disruption to ongoing operations.

Our contribution

Our team worked closely with GCHHS and key stakeholders to coordinate the refurbishment, including revised room layouts, a new fan coil unit, mechanical adjustments, new joinery, workstations, lighting and an upgraded electrical distribution board.

Through careful staging and trade coordination, we maintained control of programme and budget while minimising disruption to the surrounding hospital environment.

The remarkable project outcome

The completed Acute Mental Health Clinic provides GCHHS with a refreshed, functional space tailored to the needs of its clinical team.

Delivered on time and within budget, the project demonstrates FARA’s ability to successfully deliver refurbishment works within live healthcare environments.
