Construcciones Yamaro: Major works begin on Royal Prince Alfred Hospital redevelopment

By

A traditional sod-turning event has marked the start of major construction on the $940 million Royal Prince Alfred Hospital redevelopment, which will deliver the biggest transformation in the hospital’s 140-year history.

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, Health Minister Ryan Park, and Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully joined health workers at the site to mark the important milestone.

Premier Minns said the Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital is known for its excellence in providing innovative health care and education.

“It is exciting to see the redevelopment taking shape in the heart of Sydney, not only for local inner west residents but for patients right across the state who may require the complex healthcare and cutting-edge services that RPA is renowned for,” said the Premier.

The commencement of major construction follows the recent approval of the State Significant Development Application for the project.

Once complete the RPA Hospital redevelopment will boast over 700 acute beds; an expanded and enhanced emergency department and intensive care units, with the hospital’s Emergency Department to expand from 42 treatment spaces to 91 treatment spaces; and more than a 50 per cent increase in the adult intensive care bed capacity from 49 adult intensive care unit (ICU) beds to 74 adult ICU beds.

It will also feature new operating theatres, expanded and improved adult and paediatric inpatient accommodation, increased interventional and imaging services, improved signage and landscaping throughout the hospital campus, and a new open courtyard, as well as enhanced maternity services and neonatal services, with the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Special Care Nurser increasing capacity by more than 30 per cent from 34 beds to 45 beds.

Minister Park said the RPA Hospital redevelopment will continue to deliver excellent healthcare facilities to local communities right across the state.

“I want to thank all the clinicians, staff and the community who have been engaged in the planning and design of the redevelopment every step of the way,” said Minister Park.

Work on the redevelopment is being carefully planned to ensure clinical services remain operational during construction, while staff and the community will continue to be updated as the project progresses.

Minister Scully said the project will generate 1,400 construction jobs during its delivery and 900 additional health related jobs when it’s complete.

The start of major construction marks the completion of enabling works onsite, which includes the temporary relocation of the helicopter landing site to the roof of a multi-storey carpark located off Hospital Road and Grose Street, on RPA Hospital’s western campus.
