It's an exciting time for the Fairfield community, with a hospital redevelopment now underway.
The NSW Government has committed $550 million to the redevelopment. With an additional $80 million from the Australian Government for emergency department expansion, the total project commitment is $630 million.
The master plan was completed in mid-2025, showing the existing grounds and buildings on the hospital site and identifying the best place for the current stage of redevelopment. It also identified areas which could be suitable for future hospital expansion, so there is a consistent and logical plan for the site for decades to come.
The next stage of design, called concept design, is nearing completion, following the release of plans in late 2025 for review and feedback by hospital staff and the community. The concept design shows where hospital departments are proposed to be located, how they will connect with each other, and how the new facility will link to the existing hospital.
The feedback received to date has enabled the project team to also commence the schematic design phase, which focuses on department layouts. These plans will be released during 2026 for staff and community consultation, before plans are further refined to design every individual room and space in the new hospital building and refurbished areas.

A planning application for proposed early works to prepare the site for redevelopment was on public exhibition until Friday 19 December 2025. Submissions have now closed and the application will soon be determined. Proposed works include expansion of existing parking areas to support current parking levels during future construction activities on site.
A new clinical services building would be located within the redevelopment zone at the front of the hospital. The size, location, design and mix of services will be decided as planning progresses.
More parking will be provided as part of the redevelopment. Two parking zones have been identified as part of the master planning. The type of parking and number of spaces will be confirmed as the project progresses.
