The Fairfield community is being invited to have its say by providing feedback on plans for the Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment, with the master plan for the project now released.
The NSW Government is investing $550 million in the Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment to provide the community with new and enhanced health care services close to home.
The Master Plan outlines the vision for the redevelopment and shows how it will integrate with existing health facilities, while allowing for future development opportunities on the site.
“Fairfield and surrounding communities deserve a hospital that meets their growing healthcare needs," NSW Minister for Health Ryan Park said.
“I’m so pleased that the Fairfield Hospital redevelopment is a step closer to being realised.
“The release of the master plan is a critical stage when the community can have a first glimpse of the shape of the project and what it has to offer, as well as providing their valuable feedback," he said.
Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment Master Plan 2025
A redevelopment zone at the front of the existing Fairfield Hospital building has been identified, where new clinical facilities could be housed in the future, conveniently located close to the existing hospital to enable integration with existing services.
The scope for a new clinical services building, to be located within this zone, will be confirmed as part of the next stage of planning. Parking zones located close to either end of the hospital buildings have also been outlined, as well as green zones providing outdoor spaces.
Member for Fairfield Dr David Saliba said jobs in health, construction and support services would provide a boost for the south western Sydney community.
“The project will provide a significant boost in employment. The Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment will support an estimated 1000 jobs with the potential for supporting thousands of indirect jobs throughout the life of the project," Dr Saliba said.
The master plan has been supported by extensive community consultation, which will continue at every stage of the project.
Member for Cabramatta Tri Vo said engaging with the community was vital.
“I’m pleased to see this project is progressing, and I encourage the community to attend the drop-in sessions to see the plans and provide their feedback," Mr Vo said.
