The $526.8 million Ryde Hospital Redevelopment has reached a key milestone, with the first major concrete pour for the new seven-storey Acute Services Building now complete. About 613 cubic metres of concrete was poured over 90 hours, forming the base structure of the new building.

A sustainable concrete mix is being used for the project, with 40 per cent of traditional cement replaced with recycled materials, reducing carbon emissions while maintaining structural strength.

The use of sustainable concrete is expected to save almost 4,800 tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to taking more than 1,000 cars off the road for a year or powering more than 800 New South Wales homes for 12 months.

The Ryde Hospital Redevelopment will deliver a new and expanded emergency department, medical imaging department with MRI services, Intensive Care Unit, and operating theatres and procedure rooms. The project also includes a purpose-built ambulatory care centre, more adult overnight inpatient beds and a paediatric short-stay unit, alongside expanded surgical and endoscopy day-only spaces.

Supporting infrastructure includes clinical and non-clinical services such as pharmacy, pathology, food, environmental, linen and supply services, as well as education, training and research facilities to strengthen tertiary partnerships. Accessibility across the campus will also be improved through upgrades to internal roads, urban spaces, landscaping and wayfinding, along with engineering and ICT service infrastructure.

The redevelopment will make best use of current services on the Ryde campus, including the Graythwaite Rehabilitation Centre and historic Denistone House.

Construction of the Acute Services Building is expected to be completed in late 2027, with the main entrance, demolition and landscaping works to follow in 2028.
