The Sunshine Hospital has unveiled a new multi-deck carpark.
The structure was opened last week following 18 months of construction and coincides with the building of the adjacent Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
The project was five years in the making and marks a multi-million dollar investment from Western Health.
The eight-storey, multi-deck contains 1000 car spaces, increasing the number of public parking spaces by a third.
Western Health support services divisional director Christine Neumann said the investment would make life easier.
“We’re delighted to be opening our new multideck carpark for the use of staff, volunteers and members of the public. This has been a significant landmark infrastructure development for Western Health on the Sunshine Hospital campus, coming shortly after the opening of the neighbouring Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s,” she said.
“Our investment in car parking means people will be able to access more
spots closer to the main buildings on campus.”
The Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital was opened in May.
The $200 million hospital includes 20 maternity delivery rooms, 237 beds, 39 special care nursery cots, four theatres and additional clinics.
