As a proud Australian owned business based in Ballarat since 1935, Haymes Paint was honoured to contribute to the transformative Ballarat Base Hospital Redevelopment Stage Two in partnership with John Holland, one of Australia’s largest and most respected commercial builders. This landmark redevelopment is one of the most significant health infrastructure projects in regional Victoria and reflects a commitment to delivering advanced, patient-centric care, while supporting Australian-made manufacturing and creating tangible benefits for the Ballarat community and beyond.

In this critical healthcare environment, the choice of materials matters. Our Ultimate Anti-Bac coating was specified for use throughout the new facility. HaymesUltimate Two-Pack Anti-Bac water-based EpoxyLow Sheen is a unique water-born coating with mould and bacteria resistance. The ultra-smooth durable finish has exceptional resistance to regular harsh clinical cleaning procedures. This multi-purpose product carries excellent chemical and high-water resistance and is ideal for walls, doors and trims. The unique Two-Pack application creates a low sheen anti-bacterial system that can be tinted to a wide spectrum of broad wall colour, making it ideal for healthcare infrastructure.

Haymes Paint’s ability to customise solutions played a significant role in delivery of this project. The team worked closely with the project architects to create bespoke colour matches for doors and finishes, ensuring the interior aesthetics aligned seamlessly with the architect’s vision while meeting Light Reflectance Value (LRV) guidelines crucial for accessibility and compliance in public health settings.

The redevelopment is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a comprehensive reimagining of how healthcare is delivered in the region. The redevelopment is also an economic catalyst. Over 1,400 construction jobs are expected to be created during the project lifecycle, with up to 1,000 new hospital roles once fully operational, delivering lasting benefits to Ballarat’s workforce and economy. By collaborating with John Holland and health sector stakeholders and supplying world-class, Australian-made coatings, Haymes Paint is proud to play a part in a project that exemplifies architectural excellence, construction capability and community impact.
