Innisfail hospital required significant refurbishment to aging buildings to meet the contemporary standards of healthcare delivery and comply with the current building code requirements.

Queensland Health appointed Gowdie Management Group  to act as project manager for the redevelopment which was undertaken in four stages. The new building accommodates the emergency department, medical imaging, inpatient wards and maternity services (50 beds) on the ground floor, with support services such as the laundry and kitchen on the lower floor
