Redevelopment News

Staff will have noticed much more activity across the campus this past month as the builders, AW Edwards, continue to prepare the campus for the construction of the temporary buildings. The concrete slab has been poured for the temporary intensive care unit (ICU/CCU) and building works are underway as construction progresses on the redevelopment. A crane was also on site for the work on Level 3 Graythwaite Centre for the temporary kitchen. Ryde Hospital Redevelopment A/Redevelopment Manager Allana Thompson praised staff for their patience through this critical phase. “Staff have been very tolerant and are continuing to look after their patients as well as assist the redevelopment team in planning for the new hospital,” she said. “There has been a lot of activity, and we will see more as we move into some busier months towards the end of the year.” Staff are reminded to use the church car park, 800m walk from the hospital where there is ample parking.
