Frankston Hospital redevelopment hits maximum height

After one million hours of work, and 40,000 cubic metres of concrete poured, the $1.1 billion redevelopment of Frankston Hospital has reached structural completion.

Topping out at 13 levels above ground, the new clinical services tower includes 12 levels of patient services, a plant and equipment level, and a rooftop helipad.
