Master plan unveiled for the $350 million Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment

The master plan images and key clinical priorities for the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment were released today, providing Canterbury and surrounding communities with a first look at the largest upgrade to the hospital in more than 26 years.

The $350 million investment by the NSW Government is set to expand the current facility and deliver upgrades to existing infrastructure, meeting the health needs of the growing community and provide contemporary facilities for health staff to deliver high-quality care. 

Planning has been informed by extensive engagement with staff, clinicians and consumers to understand the service and infrastructure requirements of the redevelopment.

This planning includes feedback from more than 250 patients, staff, carers, volunteers, and community members who participated in a survey that has directly informed the master planning for the project.

Feedback received via a consumer survey highlighted preference for more green spaces and access to natural light, updated amenities for staff, patients and carers, better accessibility, signage and wayfinding, and increased patient and visitor parking.

In response to the Clinical Services Plan, new or increased health services and facilities have been identified as priorities for the redevelopment, including: 

  • a new expanded and enhanced Intensive Care Unit 

  • new purpose built adult in-patient accommodation 

  • expanded and enhanced Emergency Department 

  • additional surgical theatres   

  • improved and expanded antenatal care   

  • additional ambulatory and outpatient care capacity  

  • other clinical and non-clinical enhancements to existing and retained facilities, to support changing models of care  

  • improved accessibility to the campus including internal access, urban spaces, landscaping and wayfinding. 

The redevelopment will also maximise the capacity of existing facilities available at the Canterbury Hospital campus, including the main hospital building and the Canterbury Health Centre.

The final scope of the project and indicative timing of the works will be finalised during planning and design. 

Further consultation with staff, stakeholders and the community will continue throughout 2025.

The Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment is being delivered by Health Infrastructure, in partnership with Sydney Local Health District.

The redevelopment of Canterbury Hospital will enable services to better support the health and wellbeing of our growing local communities, now and into the future.
