Gold Coast Hospital, located at 98-136 Nerang Street, Southport was a major teaching and referral hospital and the third largest in Queensland.[1] The Gold Coast Hospital had one of the busiest emergency departments in the state.[2] The Hospital admitted over 60,000 patients annually.[3]

Publicity

In February 2008, it was reported that Queensland's public hospitals were putting lives at risk by failing to deliver adequate care across a range of key areas.The report found nine instances where public hospitals failed one of the 13 surgical indicators, with the Gold Coast Hospital responsible for three of these.[4]

Closure

On 28 September 2013, the Gold Coast Hospital at Southport closed. All patients were transferred to the new Gold Coast University Hospital at 1 Hospital Boulevard, off Parklands Drive in Southport.[5] The Gold Coast also has a public hospital located in Robina near Robina station.

Demolition

In mid-2014, demolition of the 20 buildings on the 3.4 hectare site commenced to free up the area for new commercial development opportunities within the Southport Priority Development Area. Completion of the demolition works is expected in mid-2015. [6]
