Master planning will commence this month on the new Bankstown Hospital.
The NSW Government has committed $1.3 billion for the new hospital to meet the healthcare needs of one of South Western Sydney’s fastest growing and most culturally diverse communities.
The new hospital will be located in Bankstown’s CBD, with convenient access to public transport.
Master planning will explore how the new facility will integrate with the community and connect with local road and existing and future public transport networks.
The scope for the new Bankstown Hospital will be determined through the planning process, and is anticipated to include:
- Emergency services
- Intensive care
- Surgery and interventional procedures
- Women’s and Children’s Health
- Aged health
- Mental health
- Ambulatory care services.
Community consultation and an Expressions of Interest for the project’s Community Reference Group will be advertised in the coming months.
The new Bankstown Hospital is part of the NSW Government’s $3 billion investment for new and upgraded hospitals and health services across greater western Sydney.
