A $205 million private hospital, if approved, will complement perfectly the tens of thousands of new homes developed and under construction in Sydney’s booming northwest.
Located on a circa 20,000 square metre parcel at 273 Annangrove Road in Rouse Hill, the multi-storey private hospital proposal was presented to the NSW planning department in March 2023. A formal State significant DA is yet to be lodged.
Planning documents reveal the site will comprise two separate buildings. Building 1 will comprise ground floor commercial and retail amenities, operating rooms and intensive care units on level 1 and recovery rooms on levels 2 – 4. Building 2 will comprise of 4-storeys of consultancy suites/tenancy spaces. The hospital will provide for circa 530 car spaces as well and the project is estimated to cost upwards of $200 million.
Circa 20,000 square metre greenfield
The site is unoccupied and is surrounded by low and medium density residential development in the form of detached dwellings and public recreation land. The catchment is devoid of significant healthcare facilities and the community is advocating aggressively for such facilities to be unlocked.
NSW government first announced a public hospital in Rouse Hill in 2015. It took more than 5 years before NSW Health Infrastructure purchased land for such a project. However, a new masterplan for Rouse Hill Hospital has also been unveiled and will sit at the intersection of Commercial and Windsor roads.
Both the private and public hospitals are the answer to help ease the increasing pressure on nearby health facilities, such as Blacktown, as the population in northwest Sydney continues to soar. The NSW government predicts the growth corridor will accommodate 1 million people by 2036.
