Enabling works start for the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment
Enabling works to prepare the site for the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment have commenced, bringing new and expanded health services one step closer for the local community.
The NSW Government is investing $350 million in the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment to deliver the largest upgrade to the hospital in more than 26 years. The redevelopment will help meet the healthcare needs of the diverse Canterbury community into the future.
The enabling works are an essential next step to prepare the Canterbury Hospital site for construction, which is set to begin next year, subject to planning approval.
Works will include relocating the hospital’s education centre to facilitate construction of the future multi-storey hospital building. This work is expected to be completed by early 2026 to ensure staff have continued access to training and education facilities on site.
The early works planning application is expected to be placed on public exhibition in the coming weeks. This will provide the community with its next opportunity to provide feedback, including participating in information sessions in the local area.
The final scope for the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment is expected to include:
- 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 antenatal 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 early detection, 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 Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment is being delivered by Health Infrastructure in partnership with Sydney Local Health District.
