The second phase of the Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct (LHAP) redevelopment is underway with demolition works set to begin this month.
The NSW Government is investing $830 million in the LHAP, which will transform Liverpool Hospital into a clinical hub for innovation and medical research to meet the growing healthcare needs of the community.
Phase 2 of the project will deliver a new multi-storey Integrated Services Building, which will house inpatient units, an integrated cancer centre, including a wellness centre and expanded women’s and children’s ambulatory care.
Multicultural-themed wall art will be a feature of the new building to create a welcoming and inclusive health facility.
Refurbishment works, including the conversion of the Caroline Chisholm Building into an administration hub, will continue.
By the early 2030s, more than 1.2 million people are expected to call the Liverpool region home. The South Western Sydney Local Health District will see a population growth of 33% over the next 20 years – the second highest in the state, behind the Western Sydney Local Health District which is expected to grow by 37%. The population growth underpins the needs for upgraded essential health services.
Demolition work will prepare the site for construction of the new building, which is expected to begin later this year. Construction is expected to be completed in 2027.
Phase 1 of the redevelopment delivered a new five-storey building which includes an expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), new birthing suites, and a new centralised pathology department.
The LHAP is being delivered by Health Infrastructure and South Western Sydney Local Health District with Lendlease as the principal contractor.
