The Queensland Government has announced that Australian Unity is the preferred tenderer for the $1.1 billion Herston Quarter project in Brisbane.

One of the most high profile development opportunities in Queensland, Australian Unity now plans to develop and take an ongoing role in the health, ageing and research precinct in the Quarter, which will offer health, hospital and aged-care services. The new project, integrated within the existing Herston Health Precinct, is designed to attract, train and retain the best clinicians, health workers, researchers, academics and students.

“The Herston Quarter is an important social infrastructure project for Brisbane and Queensland and we thank the Palaszczuk Government for the opportunity to contribute to the development of a world class health precinct,” Australian Unity Group Managing Director Rohan Mead said.

“As the proposed developer and ongoing operator of key facilities including retirement living and aged care services, we look forward to a long term involvement with the precinct and the Queensland community,” Mr Mead said.

Australian Unity secured the Queensland Government’s preferred tenderer status for the Herston Quarter beating off numerous listed entities.

“As a 175-year old mutual organisation, Australian Unity has no shareholders. Our focus is on delivering community value, through products and projects that meet individual and community needs. We believe Herston Quarter is one such example for Queensland,” concluded Mr Mead said.
