Project overview
575 Canterbury Rd, Campsie NSW 2194
The Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment will be the biggest upgrade of the hospital in over 26 years and will ensure the facility is able to respond to the health needs of the growing community. The redevelopment will provide patients and staff with access to the latest facilities and enable the dedicated health staff to continue delivering high-quality care.
As part of the 2026–27 State Budget, an additional $50 million has been committed to expand the current maternity and birthing services at Canterbury Hospital, bringing the total investment to $400 million.
Planning is progressing to deliver the enhanced inpatient maternity and special care nursery facilities for families in Canterbury and surrounding areas.
In response to the Clinical Services Plan, the redevelopment will deliver new and expanded health services and facilities, including:
- a new expanded and enhanced Intensive Care Unit
- new purpose built adult in-patient accommodation
- expanded and enhanced Emergency Department
- additional surgical theatres
- expanded and enhanced maternity and neonatal services
and facilities - additional ambulatory and outpatient care capacity
- new and enhanced facilities to support clinical education, workforce training, and research
- new Diagnostic Services Unit to support diagnosis and medical condition management
- enhancements to hospital support services, including pathology and pharmacy
- improved accessibility to the campus, including internal access, outdoor spaces, landscaping and wayfinding.
The Main Works planning application was placed on public exhibition on the 18 June 2026. Submissions closed at 11.59pm on 17 July 2026. The submissions are currently being reviewed by the project team.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to review the planning application, attend a community pop-up and share feedback.
The project is being delivered under two planning applications. The first planning application (Early Works) includes the antenatal expansion and works to prepare the site for the Main Works. The application was approved in April 2026, and TCQ Construction was appointed to deliver the Early Works. Construction is anticipated to commence in mid 2026, with the new antenatal service expected to open to the community in 2027, ahead of the broader redevelopment.
Main works construction timeframes will be confirmed following planning determination and the appointment of a contractor.
Additional funding
Planning is progressing to deliver the enhanced inpatient maternity and special care nursery facilities for families in Canterbury and surrounding areas. The funding will support the fit-out and relocation of an existing inpatient unit into the new nine-storey building, enabling the enhancement of maternity and special care nursery facilities.
A separate planning application process will take place for the enhanced maternity services to be delivered. Planning for the enhanced maternity and neonatal facilities will commence in the coming weeks with staff and stakeholder consultation playing a key role in shaping the design.
