Work to commence on the $200m modular quarantine facility early next month
International construction giant Multiplex has won the tender to build a new modular 1,000-bed quarantine facility at Mickleham, Melbourne.
Construction is scheduled to begin on The Centre for National Resilience early next month in a partnership between state and federal governments.
The modular quarantine facility will add more quarantine capacity for returned travellers, with a goal to have 500 beds operational by the end of the year.
Finance Minister Simon Birmingham said the centre would have its uses outside of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This centre will supplement existing quarantine arrangements during the pandemic and be available to respond to future natural disasters or future health crises in the years to come,” he said.
