Health

Mackay Base Hospital expansion

The Mackay Base Hospital expansion will deliver an additional 128 beds to support healthcare for the region, including new beds for paediatric, medical and surgical patients. It will deliver more acute, sub-acute, women’s, children’s and neonatal services closer to home.

It also includes a new multi-storey cark park with more than 1,000 spaces to support the expansion, helping more people access the healthcare they need.

Transport

Mackay Port Access Road

The Mackay Port Access will provide a direct link for freight movements from the Mackay Port to the Mackay Ring Road, and west to the Bowen Basin coal fields via the Walkerston Bypass and Peak Downs Highway.

The 9.5km, 2-lane access road from the Bruce Highway at Glenella to Mackay-Slade Point Road (Harbour Road), will improve access to the Port of Mackay while addressing urban congestion in North Mackay—reducing travel time and helping more people get to where they need to be.
