The redevelopment of Fairfield Hospital has taken an important step forward, with master planning now under way.
The NSW Government is investing $550 million in the Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment to deliver modern, purpose-built health facilities to meet the community's health care needs for generations to come.
The master plan will outline the vision for the site and identify the location of key aspects of the redevelopment of the hospital.
Master planning will also identify zones for future expansion, ensuring the hospital can continue to grow with its community well into the future.
South Western Sydney Local Health District has begun reviewing and revising the hospital's models of care, service delivery functions, and non-clinical support requirements, a critical piece of planning that will inform the master plan.
Early staff consultation is also underway, and community consultation will begin in early 2025 with a range of activities including community surveys and information sessions.
Staff, stakeholders, and the community will be kept informed and consulted as the project progresses.
The scope of the $550 million Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment will be finalised during the planning and design phase and construction timeframes will be confirmed once a builder is engaged.
