A place to prosper 2.2 A thriving economy with local jobs, investment and new industries Council Meeting - 2 February 2021 Page 4 Executive Summary Victorian Health and Human Services Building Authority (VHHSBA) approached Council to identify a potential location for a new Cranbourne Community Hospital which will provide a range of health services for the community closer to home. A site for the Hospital has been identified within the Casey Complex at 65 Berwick-Cranbourne Road, Cranbourne East. The land is zoned Activity Centre Zone and thus is suitable for VHHSBA to purchase and develop as proposed. To progress the project, Council needs to enter into a formal process for the disposal of the subject land under the Local Government Act and approval to proceed is now sought. Background The Department of Health and Human Services contacted Council in March 2019 seeking to locate a new community hospital in Cranbourne, as part of the State Government’s commitment to build ten new community hospitals close to major growth areas in Victoria. A number of potential sites were proposed by Council for consideration by VHHSBA. In the 2020 State Budget, Cranbourne was identified as one of the 10 locations within the $66 million commitment to acquire land and continue planning for the Community Hospital program. The proposed Community Hospital will be managed by Monash Health and services will include early intervention, primary and community care, as well as a focus on paediatric care, chronic disease management programs, and day hospital services. These proposed services will provide the surrounding community access to health services closer to home, without travelling to major hospitals for treatment. Council officers have been working with VHHSBA to identify a suitable site for the Hospital within Cranbourne. VHHSBA’s preferred site, which has been endorsed by the Minister for Health, is a 17,130m2 parcel of Council owned land, located at 65 Berwick Cranbourne Road, Cranbourne East (known as the ‘Casey Complex’) (see Attachment 1). The proposal is one of Council’s Strategic Utilisation of Council Owned Land (SUCOL) program projects. The SUCOL program seeks to take advantage of select assets in the Council property portfolio that are underutilised and / or capable of a more strategic use or redevelopment opportunity. Council and VHHSBA subsequently entered into a Heads of Agreement on 9 November 2020 (refer to Confidential Attachment 2), agreeing to progress more substantial investigations into the feasibility of the Hospital locating within the precinct. Master Planning Council officers have been working with VHHSBA on the development of their Master Plan for the site. A key matter being worked through is the transport access and movement for the site and the potential traffic implications. Access from Berwick-Cranbourne Road via the proposed Western Road is being investigated as an option to access the site (refer Attachment 1), and Council has been supporting VHHSBA’s advocacy to Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) for the potential delivery of this intersection. These discussions and associated design works are ongoing and are subject to change pending further transport modelling and investigation. Council Meeting - 2 February 2021 Page 5 The existing parking in the precinct will also be affected by the proposed Hospital as well as by future development. To mitigate this a parking study is underway to understand the impact and possible solutions. The identified site incorporates the Balla Balla Community Centre, which would be displaced should the Hospital development proceed. Council has ensured that Balla Balla will remain in situ and operational for up to 10 years and
