Ryde hospital construction begins Construction is underway on the $526.8 million Ryde Hospital Redevelopment, with the first sod turned at the site in August 2024, marking the start of major works.
NSW Premier Chris Minns and Minister for Health Ryan Park joined health workers for a traditional sod-turning event marking the significant milestone. Aboriginal performers, Tu Wai Macdonald and Dennis Duncan cleansed the site with a traditional smoking ceremony. “This project will deliver a brand- new emergency department, intensive care unit and operating theatres,” Mr Minns said.
“We are expanding this essential service to meet the needs of the Ryde community for years to come.” Ryde Hospital Head of Emergency Dr Peter Roberts spoke at the event and said staff were looking forward to the new hospital. “Staff are looking forward to the new facilities which are long overdue,” he said. “This will be great for staff, the patients and also great for the community.”
Construction works are being carried out by AW Edwards.
The new hospital building is expected to be completed in 2027, with the new main entry, demolition of former buildings and landscaping to take place in 2028.
