Changes are underway at the site of former McKean Kidz Childcare on McKean Street across the Caboolture Public Hospital as the construction of a new Caboolture medical hub has begun.
Soon, locals will be able to avail of various medical services at the McKean Medical Centre, which will have 13 different tenancies catering to people’s health and wellness issues.
As it is, I-MED Radiology Network and Medicross Medical Practice have confirmed their tenancies ahead of the construction but the site will also have a general practitioner, a dental clinic, and services like radiology, pathology and physiology.
This Caboolture medical hub is projected to open in late 2021 and is in line with the $394.6 million redevelopment of the Caboolture Public Hospital, which will finish in four years. The Caboolture Private Hospital is also a few metres away from McKean Medical Centre thus offering health groups and specialists the opportunity to become part of this growing medical precinct.
Keymax Property Group submitted plans to build the hub in July 2020 (DA/40891/2020/V2H) with some 75 new jobs created for the tradies during the construction phase.
Mayor Peter Flannery said that this development is a win-win for the Caboolture region since, alongside the creation of new jobs, residents will soon have more options for specialised health care, especially in the COVID-19 crisis.
