One of the state\u2019s largest hospital projects will begin within weeks, with the main works contractor appointed for the $790 million Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct.
\nHealth Minister Brad Hazzard announced the awarding of the principal contract to Lendlease, following a competitive tender process.
\n\u201cThe Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct will deliver a world-class medical, research and education hub in the rapidly growing south-western Sydney region,\u201d Mr Hazzard said.
\n\u201cThe redevelopment will be a real boost for communities throughout the region, bringing greatly enhanced healthcare services closer to home.\u201d
\nThe redeveloped hospital will provide a total of 900 beds, an expanded emergency department, new maternity and paediatric inpatient beds and double the capacity within the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
\nAnother key feature will be a new, expanded Integrated Cancer Centre which will almost double the chemotherapy treatment spaces.
\nMember for Holsworthy Melanie Gibbons said the redevelopment would boost the local economy and meet the south-western Sydney\u2019s community\u2019s growing healthcare needs now and into the future.
\n\u201cThe start of major works at this new world-class precinct will support thousands of jobs during the construction phases and beyond, which will be greatly welcomed as we recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d Ms Gibbons said.
\nConstruction of a $50 million multi-storey car park for the Liverpool Hospital is already underway, with work being carried out by ADCO Constructions.
\nThe precinct is part of the NSW Government\u2019s record $10.8 billion investment in health infrastructure over four years to 2024-2025.
\nOver $5.5 billion in health capital works are underway in\u00a0 Western and South Western Sydney including:<\/p>\n
