Health Infrastructure is in the planning process to redevelop and expand Canterbury Hospital to meet the needs of the growing local community.
OVERVIEW
The NSW Government is investing $350 million in the Canterbury Hospital redevelopment to expand the current facility and deliver upgrades to existing infrastructure.
The Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment will be the biggest upgrade of the hospital in 26 years. The redevelopment will ensure the facility is able to respond to the health needs of the growing community, and provide contemporary facilities to enable the dedicated health staff to deliver high-quality care.
PROJECT STATUS
Master planning is underway on the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment to identify key priorities and develop strategies that will define the hospital’s transformation.
The lead design team was appointed in March 2024 and will work with Health Infrastructure and Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) in determining the key clinical service priorities to inform the planning for the redevelopment.
CONSULTATION
The Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment team conducted a survey, asking staff, patients, visitors and the community to provide feedback on what they would like to be considered as part of the redevelopment. We had more than 250 people respond, and their feedback will help shape the future of Canterbury Hospital by directly informing the redevelopment’s master plan.
Key themes that emerged included green spaces and access to natural light; updated amenities for staff, patients and carers; improved accessibility, clear signage and wayfinding; and increased patient and visitor parking.
This feedback will help shape a facility that supports the growing needs of the diverse community. View further outcomes in the fact sheet below.
Master Plan Survey Outcomes Report - November 2024
Designing and building a hospital is a complex process that involves extensive consultation with staff, health care professionals, patients, key stakeholders and the community to ensure we meet the needs of the growing community.
Ongoing consultation with the community and key stakeholders is an essential part of delivering a hospital redevelopment and will continue throughout all stages of the project.
