New Bankstown Hospital

The new site will include parking to meet the needs of the hospital.

The master plan for the new Chapel Road site was released in June 2025 and identifies the best zones for key features such as the main building, entry, ambulance and emergency drop-off, service roads and potential parking areas.

Parking options and number of spaces will be confirmed as planning progresses. 

Yes, in fact there are more than 100 staff representatives directly involved in planning. These staff representatives work with our planners, and with their hospital colleagues, to share ideas and information, and make decisions about each part of the hospital including the reception areas, wards, waiting areas and clinics. 

Staff workshops (for staff not directly involved in project user groups) and updates are held regularly to keep staff informed about the project.

There will also be working groups for sustainability, arts in health and other key areas which have an impact on the whole-of-hospital design.

If you're a staff member, check your email, intranet and staff newsletters for more information.

We will continue to consult with patients, carers and community members at every stage of the planning.

Consultation will includes workshops, information sessions and consultation at important design milestones, such as the first look at the designs and progressive design stages.

We will also work closely with the hospital's Consumer and Community Participation Committee, our multicultural community and our Aboriginal Elders, knowledge holders and community members.

The existing hospital will continue to operate until the new hospital is completed.

This ensures there is no disruption to healthcare services during construction.

When the new hospital is ready, services will transfer to the new building and the current hospital site will be redeveloped at a later stage for services such as day surgery and community health, and other health uses.
