New health precinct, including aged care, planned for Western Sydney
Sydney’s west will gain a new multi-million-dollar health and education precinct, including residential aged care, under a Blacktown City Council masterplan.
Up to 22 homes, as well as a bowling club, will be demolished to make way for a private hospital adjacent to the existing Blacktown Hospital; plans for the precinct also include assisted living and aged care, residential and commercial buildings, cafés, car parks, and an education and health hub.
According to a planner, the precinct will be a key transformation project for Blacktown City.
Building heights will range from five to 10 storeys, with Captain Cook Park also to be expanded. The precinct is in addition to the recent $700 million upgrade of Blacktown Hospital by NSW Health.
