An important part of the redevelopment is the upgrades and modifications to roads around the precinct. A brand-new road running along the northern boundary of the campus is almost complete.
It extends from the northern end of Car Park 5 (near HMRI) to a large roundabout (pictured above left), along the west of Car Park 4 and runs past Forensic Medicine to another new roundabout outside Pathology.
We will provide regular updates as this infrastructure gets closer to opening. Stay across the varied changes and timelines of the development via our interactive map.
Medical Director Helen Sambles and Nurse Manager Julie Richards have been instrumental in the design of the new emergency department. Watch the video on our website to hear more about the improvements in store that will provide more space for families and privacy for patients.
Representatives from the project recently attended the Gather and Grow session in Maitland. This was one of several sessions around NSW that is designed to raise awareness of the Aboriginal Procurement Policy that supports government projects to employ more Aboriginal businesses and individuals.
We made connections with several new businesses and hope to grow these relationships.
At the same time, and with the support of the local Connectivity Centre, the project has enabled 24 locally based First Nations people to be employed in the construction industry. Visit here to learn more about the Procurement Policy and here to find out about the Connectivity Centre.
A reminder that the theme of this year’s NAIDOC Week is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud.
Our project is proud to have established strong and meaningful relationships with our Aboriginal communities including representatives from the Murrook Culture Centre (pictured left at a recent event on site).
