Residents in the Illawarra will benefit from a $220 million commitment from the NSW Government to plan for future expansion of the Wollongong Hospital and Health Precinct.
It’s the first step in the future redevelopment of the Wollongong Hospital and Health Precinct and includes early and enabling works with site investigation and refurbishment works.
Local residents will be able to better access the new Shellharbour Hospital with a provision for transport and road intersection upgrades.
Construction of the $781.9 million new Shellharbour Hospital is already underway and once complete, the new Shellharbour Hospital will transform access to healthcare for the Shellharbour community, providing a wide range of modern and expanded health services and reducing the need to travel out of the area for a range of treatments.
The budget also revealed that the Minns Labor Government will build a new public school for West Dapto to be co-located with a new public pre-school as part of a record $9 billion for school infrastructure.
The budget also addressed other areas for the Illawarra and South Coast, including transport, infrastructure and jobs.
