The State Government said the site has been selected following an exhaustive search of 38 possible locations to select the site which will give East Hills and Bankstown residents the optimal healthcare experience.
This site was selected to ensure the highest quality medical services and will include: Expanded emergency services; Surgery and interventional procedures; Intensive care; Women’s and Children’s Health; Community Health Services; and Parking for 1,750 spaces; Aged health; Mental health; Cancer services Ambulatory care services and Rehabilitation.
State MP for East Hills, Wendy Lindsay MP welcomed the news, which came as a result of tireless advocacy to construct the hospital in the determined location, rather than move it away from the community it currently serves.
“This will create a broader health precinct, providing a one-stop-shop for the community’s health needs. The current hospital will be retained as a public health facility whilst constructing the new hospital just across the road,” Ms Lindsay said.
“In 2020, while future site selection was underway, we delivered an expanded $25 million Emergency Department in the existing Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. We are now cracking on with delivery of the full $1.3 billion redevelopment for this community.”
