The shape of things to come

Mater aims to continue to deliver clinical excellence and lead the way in integrated health, education and research services –  to deliver new services, in new ways, with a focus on innovative care that will help people live healthier lives.

The development of Mater Hill will be guided by the Mater Hill Master Plan.  These development priorities (during the next 5-10 years) include:

  • a potential first-class clinical services facility with dedicated private and public health services reflective of emerging trends in medical, surgical, research as well as specialist and interventional suites
  • a much-needed Mater Family Wellness Service providing intensive specialist and intervention services providing prenatal mental health support for families
  • a potential new emergency department with new singular entrance within the new clinical services building
  • environmentally sustainable energy pratices and improvements across all new buildings and
  • open green recreational places for wellness and relaxation.

The proposed concepts also features future options for a modern façade and entrance for the existing Stanley Street hospital, new arrival courtyards and pedestrian links and walkways – creating easier front door and public transport access for patients, visitors and our people.

Further plans include reinvigorating our heritage listed buildings to protect and highlight the precinct’s connection to place and history, while green spaces and a network of food, retail and other lifestyle support services aim to complete the design.

Mater will also work with neighbouring transport, education and entertainment precincts to help connect to local commuity precincts and support the growth of Brisbane's inner city community.

The master plan project is currently in the planning phase.
