The Cessnock community is invited to provide feedback on the latest designs for the $138 million Cessnock Hospital Redevelopment.
The NSW Government is investing $138 million in the Cessnock Hospital Redevelopment to significantly enhance healthcare services for the region and meet the health care needs of the growing population.
The schematic design provides the next level of detail for the redevelopment, showcasing modern healthcare facilities and the expanded services to be delivered.
The redevelopment will include construction of a new two-level acute services building that will house an expanded emergency department, two inpatient wards featuring single and two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a new medical imaging service, and day surgery spaces.
In the 2024-25 NSW Budget an additional $26.5 million was allocated to the Cessnock Hospital Redevelopment, bringing the total investment to $138 million. This will support the delivery of additional facilities including an operating theatre and procedure room, a Central Sterilising Services Department (CSSD) and a modern pharmacy.
The Cessnock community is encouraged to attend information drop-in sessions and give feedback on:
- Tuesday 12 November, 10:00am - 12:00pm, Cessnock Hospital main foyer (View Street)
- Wednesday 13 November, 9:00am - 1:00pm, Cessnock Village Shopping Centre
Consultation with staff and the community will continue throughout the project including working groups that will seek community input in the Arts in Health program and landscaping and outdoor spaces to ensure that local culture is reflected in the hospital's design.
Construction is expected to begin in 2025, following the appointment of a main works contractor.
