Work is underway on a master plan and delivery strategy to turn the site into a vibrant mixed-use precinct.
Development Victoria is considering community feedback to develop delivery options for the site. Community consultation ran between November 2023 and February 2024. More than 1500 people provided input during the program.
Now that the former Footscray Hospital is closed, you may see some minor works happening at the site. This is to ensure the site is safe in preparation for decommissioning and demolition.
Work to demolish the hospital and prepare the site for development is expected to start in the second half of 2026. This work is expected to take up to 2 years.
We will continue to engage with the community about the site, building on the feedback from the previous round of consultations.
We will also provide updates on what’s happening on site during the hospital’s demolition.
