An Environmentally-Conscious Private Medical Facility, In The Heart of Whittlesea
ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions is proud to announce a recently-won tender; the build of the Northern Private Hospital. This development will be brought to life by Ramsay Health Care who will be transforming part of their former Epping Quarry site into a premier, purpose-built private hospital. Located in New Epping, 18km north of Melbourne’s CBD, and featuring services across a range of medical, surgical and mental health care treatments and specialties, this 126-bed facility will be a welcome arrival in Whittlesea’s thriving local community, which has a high number of privately insured residents.
Within Northern Private Hospital, patients will be able to access services across general medicine, cardiology, vascular, orthopaedics, plastics, ENT, general surgery, gynaecology, urology, oncology, haematology, ophthalmology and gastroenterology. “This ambitious expansion program is critical to support the rapid growth and high demand in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, and to support the co-located 500-bed Northern Hospital”, states Steve Azzopardi, Business Development Manager (Specification).
Sustainability is at the forefront of this project, especially with Riverlee – one of Australia’s largest developers – leading the way.
Post-build, Northern Private Hospital will become one of only a few Victorian hospitals to achieve the 4-Star equivalency rating in line with The Green Building Council of Australia’s (GBCA) Green Star Design and AS-Built rating tool

As part of Ramsay Health’s commitment to sustainability, the new hospital will follow an environmentally conscious pathway from the early concept, design and construction phases through to opening, operation and beyond. The build will incorporate recycled materials, solar power, energy efficient lighting, and fixtures, fittings and appliances designed for water conservation and energy efficiency. Due to Ramsay Health’s ongoing commitment to Environmentally Sustainable Development (ESD), the only logical choice for hardware was simple. ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions ticked many of those boxes, with many of our products being manufactured, using molten metal poured into dies locally in Victotria, manufacturing in the traditional sense which is rarely seen in Australia anymore.
All manufactured with environmentally sustainable processes in place. ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions products specified for this project include: 1800 Series, 220 Series, Selector Locks, and 2615 Cam Action Door Closers
Northern Private Hospital will be commissioned in early 2024, with further expansion of the hospital occurring over the next five years.
