The unit will be located off Smith Street at Parklands.
[edit] Proposed cut back
According to leaked documents sighted by the Gold Coast Bulletin, Queensland Health is being forced to delay, cut or privatise facilities for the Gold Coast University Hospital. Proposed cost saving measures under consideration in many cases involved "shelling" or building the space for facilities but not fitting out those areas.[1]
