Capital Works or Recent Improvements

Herston Quarter - The redevelopment of a 5 hectare site within the Herston Health Precinct has begun. Metro North Hospital and Health Service is overseeing the redevelopment of Herston Quarter which will be managed by Australian Unity as the development partner.

The $1.1 billion transformation of Herston Quarter will deliver a mixed-use community which will cater for health, residential, commercial and retail development.

This exciting project will complement the world-class health, education and research facilities within the Herston Health Precinct, including the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. Herston Quarter will be integrated with the broader Herston Health Precinct and will create a thriving community.
