The Lady Bjelke-Petersen Community Hospital (LBPCH) was purchased by a privately owned company in 2022 and was found to require an extensive maintenance program to uphold the operational capability. The new owner proposed to develop an integrated health precinct including a private hospital, residential aged care, new infrastructure for complimentary health services (pathology, radiography, etc.).
AEC developed the Business Case for the proposed hospital and aged care facility development, including a comprehensive analysis of service need and health service demand across the region, analysis of the facility operations, a commerciality and financial feasibility assessment, and an economic impact assessment. AEC also reviewed the social benefits of such an investment to understand the broader impacts to the region.
