NSW Launches $830M Liverpool Hospital Revamp Phase
Demolition works as part of preparations for the second phase of the Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct (LHAP) redevelopment of Liverpool Hospital will 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 health care 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 also 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. South Western Sydney LHD will see population growth of 33 per cent over the next 20 years – the second highest in the state, behind only Western Sydney LHD which is expected to grow by 37 per cent. The population growth underpins the need 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 Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct is being delivered by Health Infrastructure and South Western Sydney Local Health District with Lendlease the principal contractor.
