A sod-turning ceremony has officially launched the construction of the highly anticipated new Shellharbour Hospital, which aims to transform healthcare delivery for the Illawarra community.

BESIX Watpac joined New South Wales Minister for Health Ryan Park and member for Shellharbour Anna Watson at the ceremony. The commencement of construction signifies not only the physical start of the project but also the promise of a meaningful and lasting impact on the local community.

The new hospital is expected to generate $780 million in economic activity for the Illawarra region and create around 800 construction jobs. Giovanni Polimeni, general manager for NSW at BESIX Watpac, emphasised the company’s commitment to fostering career pathways for locals, including early career construction workers, First Nations people, and women throughout the project’s delivery.

“Creating a skilled and diverse workforce for not only now but in the future is important to BESIX Watpac – this hospital will not only serve as a beacon of health and wellness but also as a catalyst for local employment and professional development,” said Polimeni. “We look forward to delivering our ninth project in partnership with Health Infrastructure [NSW].”

The new Shellharbour Hospital is poised to become a cornerstone of the Illawarra region, providing cutting-edge healthcare services while supporting community growth. It will feature an expanded emergency department, increased surgical capacity, rehabilitation and aged care services, as well as the potential for a future helipad.
