The growing communities in Sydney's north west will benefit from a boost to frontline emergency care, with the NSW Government today announcing the site of a new ambulance station to be built at Macquarie Park.
The new Macquarie Park Ambulance Station will be purpose-built on a government-owned site at the corner of Khartoum Road and Tasman Place next to the M2 motorway, as part of a $615.5 million Ambulance Infrastructure Program to deliver 30 additional ambulance stations across NSW.
With thousands of families expected to move into the area in the coming years, Macquarie Park was identified by NSW Ambulance as a high priority location for a new Ambulance Station.
The site on Khartoum Road and Tasman Place was selected following a comprehensive service planning process by Health Infrastructure and NSW Ambulance using best practice modelling software to map Triple Zero (000) calls. This location of the new ambulance station will optimise response performance to better meet the emergency and mobile medical care needs of the local community.
Early planning is underway for the new Macquarie Park Ambulance Station, a builder is expected to be awarded in mid-2026, with construction to start soon after.
The NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program will deliver 30 additional ambulance stations and supporting infrastructure across Sydney, the Central Coast, the Hunter, Newcastle and Wollongong over the coming years, boosting frontline emergency ambulance care.
Health Infrastructure is working with NSW Ambulance and other Government stakeholders to identify potential sites for new ambulance stations. Sites for new ambulance stations are now confirmed for North Sydney, South Windsor, Oran Park, Berowra, Prestons, Moss Vale, Bargo, Lisarow, Glendenning, Caves Beach, Carlingford and now Macquarie Park.
The NSW Government is recruiting 2,500 additional NSW Ambulance staff including 500 paramedics to rural and regional areas, to boost emergency and mobile healthcare for our metropolitan and regional communities.
The NSW Government is also investing $526.8 million for the Ryde Hospital Redevelopment to enable Ryde to have a hospital of the future, meeting the long-term health needs of the local community in north-west Sydney.
Also under construction in north-west Sydney, is the $96 million RNA Research and Pilot Manufacturing facility co-located at Macquarie University's Wallumattagal campus. The first of its kind in Australia, it will deliver new capabilities to develop world leading vaccines and medical therapies for humans and animals based on cutting edge RNA technology.
The Minns Labor Government is also turbocharging the delivery of new housing in Sydney by supporting transport-oriented development at train and metros stations including an accelerated precinct at Macquarie Park.
