Welcome

Welcome to the Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH) Concept Plan website.

The purpose of this website is to provide the community, staff and patients with information on the Concept Plan and any Project Applications that have been lodged for approval with the NSW Department of Planning (DoP).

This website will provide:

  • Information about the project
  • Supporting documents, such as Project Applications

The redevelopment project will provide new acute care, education, teaching and research facilities for RNSH at a cost of about $702 million.

The primary aim of the Concept Plan is to facilitate the redevelopment of the hospital from an outmoded and dispersed set of buildings, into a compact state-of-the-art facility on the western side of the campus.

The Concept Plan will also provide guidance for complementary development options on the balance of the site including:

  • The provision of additional private health services
  • A range of new landscaped open spaces
  • A publicly accessible heritage precinct
  • Public roads and pedestrian access including a direct link into St Leonards station
  • New retail, commercial and residential facilities.

Revised documentation (November 2006) is set out below, as is the original (July 2006) exhibited Concept Plan.

In addition, a Project Application has been lodged for approval to build a new Research and Education building on the corner of Reserve Rd and Westbourne St.
