The Victorian Health and Human Services Building Authority (VHHSBA) has chosen the Plenary Health consortium as its preferred bidder for the Footscray Hospital project.
The Plenary-led consortium includes Soljitz, Multiplex and Honeywell and Compass; the design of the hospital was led by Billard Leece Partnership and Cox architecture.
Under the plans, the new 504-bed hospital will replace the existing Gordon Street hospital, and in doing so will provide 2,000 jobs for the region.
Delivered under a design, build, finance and maintain model, the construction is aiming to be completed in 2025, and the consortium will maintain the facility for 25 years.
