Ryde Redevelopment A Big Year for Ryde
Another big year is planned for the Ryde Hospital Redevelopment with January off to a big start. Ryde Hospital A/Redevelopment Manager Allana Thompson and the project team enjoyed a short respite over the summer break, coming back refreshed and ready to support the next months of staging moves. “There is so much activity planned for the start of this year and it is going to be incredibly busy as main works construction on the new building which is to start later this year,” Allana said.
Staging Works in 2024-25
On Wednesday 29 January, the physiotherapy outpatient department successfully moved to its interim location on level 2, Graythwaite Rehabilitation Centre. From February, the loading dock will start operating from its interim location off Denistone Rd. The new location has required meticulous planning by the hospital’s redevelopment and site operations teams, as delivery trucks will have new operating procedures when entering and exiting the campus. The first services to move to the new loading dock are stores and linen from the start of February, with food services to move in March. Upcoming moves for the campus include: - Environmental services, stores and linen to the Graythwaite car park from the start of February. - The bin compactors will move at the end of February to Macquarie Hospital, where they will be located until the redevelopment is complete. The interim mortuary will be operational at the end of February, operating under a new set of procedures. Staff will have noticed the Blue Gum High Forest path access to the hospital is now closed. Signage has been erected to advise staff and the public of the alternative routes to access the hospital. Operational User Groups have now started to support the relocation of ICU/CCU to the new interim building, scheduled for April. Allana said staff can expect changes to the after-hours parking in mid-February. Car park (P6) will close and be replaced by the opening of the undercroft car park, off Denistone Rd. While this is a change in location, the numbers of car parks remain the same. Staff are reminded parking is still available at the Church of the Latter-Day Saints (412-420 Blaxland Rd).
