Plenary chief investment officer Paul Crowe said: “It is a rare privilege to deliver such a significant project, one that will ultimately transform access to health services in Melbourne’s west. In bringing this project to life, the community has always been our focus. “We look forward to delivering a true community hospital for patients and families, for staff and the people of the western suburbs.”

The Government of Victoria has contracted Plenary Health to finance, design, construct and maintain the Footscray for 25 years after construction has been completed.
