Completion of Northern Private Hospital
The north's largest health hub welcomes new anchor
Riverlee was delighted to announce practical completion of the Northern Private Hospital in August this year, the anchor of New Epping’s 51-hectare health, wellness and knowledge precinct. Now under the operational management of Ramsay Health Care, the hospital will provide 70 inpatient beds as well as a suite of other facilities including four state-of-the-art operating theatres.
Located next to the existing public Northern Hospital, and linked by footbridge, the new Northern Private Hospital is a key anchor in the largest medical hub in Melbourne’s north.

Launching to coincide with Riverlee’s 30-year celebrations, The Penthouse is the latest addition to the Seafarers precinct, which is home to Australia’s first 1 Hotel & Homes and Melbourne’s newest riverfront parkland, Seafarers Rest.
