■ The State Government has shortlisted two consortia featuring construction companies, sponsors and facilities management providers vying to deliver the new Melton Hospital. Mary-Ann e Thomas, Minister for Health Infrastructure, announced the shortlisted consortia who have been invited to develop proposals for next major public hospital for Melbourne’s outer West.

The hospital will be designed in a way to allow for future expansion to ensure it can grow with the community and will create more than 700 direct jobs and 1700 indirect jobs during construction. Once completed, the new hospital will have capacity to treat 130,000 patients each year and see almost 60,000 patients in the emergency department. Community feedback will help shape the development of the new hospital, with more than 1000 pieces of feedback captured through workshops with the community consultative committee, as well as input from online surveys, information sessions and targeted workshops.
