The $479 million redevelopment of Ryde Hospital has reached another major milestone with the designs of the new precinct unveiled and early works set to commence next month. Premier Dominic Perrottet said the designs released today showcase the major expansion and upgrade of the facility which will support the health needs of the Ryde community.
“We are completely transforming Ryde Hospital into a state-of-the-art health facility with new and enhanced health services,” Mr Perrottet said.
“This $479 million redevelopment will significantly improve access to healthcare for the local community, ensuring more people can get quality care close to home.”
Minister for Health Brad Hazzard said the redevelopment will future-proof healthcare in the local area. “The start of early works on site is a significant milestone for the $479 million Ryde Hospital redevelopment,” Mr Hazzard said. “Once complete, the Ryde Hospital redevelopment will deliver a new and expanded emergency department and intensive care unit, new theatres, new purpose-built ambulatory care centre, new paediatric short stay unit and expanded medical imaging.”
Member for Ryde Victor Dominello said he was delighted to share the new designs with the community. “These designs follow a significant amount of engagement with the local community, clinicians and key healthcare stakeholders as well as feedback from staff and consumers,” Mr Dominello said.
“The feedback has informed key design considerations such as heritage, the environment and green space to create a welcoming environment for patients, staff, and visitors.”
