The design for the new Narrabeen Ambulance Station has been unveiled, giving the community its first look at the modern facility planned for the existing Pittwater Road site.
The new ambulance station on Pittwater Road at Narrabeen is being delivered as part of the NSW Government’s $615.5 million NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program to bolster frontline emergency ambulance services.
The release of the artist impression for the project comes as the early works contractors begin on site, with final investigations and internal strip-out works soon to commence, ahead of demolition of the former station building over the coming months.
The modern, purpose-built facility will support local paramedics with upgraded contemporary workspaces, improved operational capacity and infrastructure designed to meet the growing needs of the Northern Beaches community.
The new ambulance station will include internal parking for up to 10 emergency ambulance vehicles, on-site vehicle wash facilities, administration and logistics areas, multipurpose spaces, staff amenities including a gym, and on-site parking.
The site of the old Narrabeen Ambulance station was confirmed as the most suitable location to optimise response performance and meet the future emergency health needs of the community following an extensive land search across Dee Why and the Northern Beaches.
The main works planning application for the Narrabeen Ambulance Station is expected to be publicly exhibited in the coming months, providing the community with an opportunity to view the plans and provide feedback.
Construction timeframes will be confirmed once a main works builder has been appointed.
The NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program is delivering 30 new ambulance stations and supporting infrastructure across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, the Hunter and the Illawarra.

Minister for Health Ryan Park:
“The new station will provide local paramedics with a modern, purpose-built facility that supports them to deliver the best possible care when people need it most.
“The Minns Labor Government is building more ambulance stations and recruiting more paramedics to support boosting emergency care for Narrabeen and surrounding communities.
“As the Northern Beaches community continues to grow, we’re investing in the essential health infrastructure needed to support residents now and into the future.”
Member for Pittwater Jacqui Scruby:
“The new station answers calls from local paramedics for a modern, purpose-built facility that supports them to deliver the best possible care and response times for the Pittwater community.
“Having visited the old station, I was shocked. Constructed in the 1960s this station had barely been touched since and was completed neglected by the Liberal Government for decades. It is now getting the investment our community deserves.
“I also thank the Government and Minister for listening to calls from my community to keep the station at Narrabeen, rather than relocate it to Dee Why as it was initially planned. I look forward to seeing the new station and improved operational capacity for Pittwater.”
Member for Wakehurst Michael Regan:
“This major investment will support our local paramedics to continue delivering high-quality emergency care for our growing Beaches community. That is great news and the expanded facilities will reflect the high standards our Paramedics deserve.
