Reaching new heights on the new CSB It was a sight to behold: a crane manoeuvring a tree on to the top of the six-storey Clinical Services Building at Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital. Marking a significant milestone to celebrate the completion of the structure’s highest point, the angophra tree was craned in and witnessed by Health Minister Brad Hazzard, Member for Hornsby Matt Kean, Member for Ku-ring-gai, Alister Henskens, NSLHD CE Deb Willcox, HKH General Manager, Lee Gregory, redevelopment representatives and hospital staff. The topping out ceremony was to mark the significant milestone for the Stage 2 redevelopment project, with the Clinical Services Building (CSB), the centrepiece of the $265 million project. With stunning views of the local district as the backdrop, Mr Hazzard told the gathering: “we promised to deliver world-class health care closer to home and soon the local community will have a range of expanded health services in a new, state-of-the-art building.” In addition to the $200 million redevelopment which is on track for completion in 2021, the NSW Government committed in this year’s budget another $65 million to fund new and expanded services including day chemotherapy, renal dialysis units and a helipad. Mr Kean said the redevelopment is a fantastic boost to the local economy. “The Hornsby Ku-ring-gai redevelopment will provide 590 full-time equivalent jobs in the construction industry and generate new jobs for health care workers in the area,” he said.
