Blue Mountains Hospital Redevelopment planning and upgrades

The Restart NSW funding provides a unique opportunity to take a fresh look at the Blue Mountains Hospital’s infrastructure and services. The funding will be used to upgrade existing hospital facilities and to commence planning for a future Blue Mountains Hospital Redevelopment. The planned upgrades to the Blue Mountains ANZAC Memorial District Hospital will enhance hospital facilities, and improve the hospital experience for patients, staff and visitors.

Existing Hospital Upgrades

The Blue Mountains Hospital has prioritised the following upgrades to the existing hospital:

• Emergency Department
• ambulatory care services
• inpatient areas
• Central Sterilising Services Department
• building improvements, including the roof, air conditioning and lift access.

Construction on the Central Sterilising Services Department is complete.

On 22 September 2025, building contractor, Taylor Construction was appointed to undertake the remaining upgrades. Please read the NSW Government media release for more information.

Early planning for a future Blue Mountains Hospital redevelopment

The lead design team is progressing with early planning for a future Blue Mountains Hospital redevelopment, which includes site investigations on the Blue Mountains Hospital campus and commencing discussions with local health staff.  

The Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District has also submitted a draft Clinical Services Plan (CSP) to the NSW Ministry of Health for review. The draft CSP identifies the future health care needs of the Blue Mountains region. The CSP has been informed by consultations with local clinicians, health staff and the community and by hospital data, population demographics and projections for the Blue Mountain local government areas.  

A future Blue Mountains Hospital redevelopment will ensure communities in the region have access to a wide range of quality healthcare in a central location for generations to come.
