Western Sydney communities are set to benefit from more beds and modern health facilities, with planning documents for the Mount Druitt Hospital redevelopment now on public exhibition, marking a key step in delivering expanded care services.
The redevelopment is being delivered as part of the NSW Government’s commitment to Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals to help meet the growing health related needs of Sydney’s west.
This investment will deliver further state-of-the-art healthcare facilities to serve one of the state’s fastest-growing communities.
The project will deliver expanded clinical and non-clinical support service areas and help increase capacity across Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals with the delivery of 60 additional beds, including 30 new beds at Mount Druitt Hospital.

Feedback on the planning application can be provided online until 11:59pm on Friday 19 December 2025.
Local MP for Mount Druitt Edmond Atalla says this is an important step forward.
“By expanding bed capacity and clinical spaces, we’re supporting local health staff to continue delivering the best possible care for patients and their families,” Edmond said.
“It’s part of the NSW Government’s delivery of more than $3.4 billion in hospital infrastructure across Western Sydney over the next four years to support growing Western Sydney communities,” Edmond said.
The detailed design for Mount Druitt Hospital is expected to be completed by the end of this year, with construction timeframes to be confirmed next year following planning approval and the appointment of a building contractor.
This investment builds on the $700 million expansion of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals completed in 2020, which delivered expanded capacity at both hospitals, a new emergency department, cancer centre, and inpatient facilities at Blacktown Hospital, as well as additional renal dialysis and inpatient facilities at Mount Druitt Hospital.
The 2025-26 NSW Budget includes $1.3 billion of additional funding to support the delivery of health facilities across Western Sydney including:
• an additional $700 million for the new Bankstown Hospital, bringing the total investment to $2 billion
• additional State funding of $90.0 million to provide the full range of maternity and birthing services as part of the new Rouse Hill Hospital, with a further $120 million announced by the Commonwealth Government towards the new maternity and birthing service
• $120 million for additional beds for Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals
• $492 million to develop a Statewide Pathology Hub on the Westmead campus
• $40.1 million to fit out level 13 of the new Paediatric Services Building at Westmead in partnership with the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation
• $22.3 million to establish a new paediatric hospice at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead
