Project Overview

As NAIDOC week sees celebrations around the country to recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the Tweed Valley Hospital project recommits to improving the health experience of Aboriginal people in the Tweed region.

The project team ran our first virtual Community Reference Panel session on Monday 3 August, where panel members heard about recent significant project milestones and achievements.   

Tweed-based civil construction business CD Excavations has won one of the final contracts to deliver early works for the Tweed Valley Hospital project.

The final plans for the $673.2 million Tweed Valley Hospital have been given the green light by the NSW Government, paving the way for main building works to begin.

On Friday 22 May 2020, the NSW Government announced it will invest an extra $91.2 million in the new Tweed Valley Hospital development, delivering even more beds and expanded clinical services.

The Tweed Valley Hospital has been announced as one of the NSW Government’s priority projects to have its planning approval fast-tracked, assisting with the State’s economic recovery.

Over 60 locals, ranging from school students interested in taking the first steps in their careers through to experienced tradespeople, visited the Get Work Ready Expo on Tuesday 2 December.

The next stage of the $582 million investment in health for Tweed and the Far North Coast has now commenced.

NSW Health Infrastructure lodged Stage 2 of its State Significant Development (SSD) planning application for the Tweed Valley Hospital with the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment on Friday 27 September 2019.

A sod-turning ceremony has marked the countdown to the start of construction on the state-of-the art Tweed Valley Hospital.

Health Infrastructure’s Chief Executive and project team joined Northern NSW Local Health District, hospital staff and political representatives to celebrate the major milestone.

Following extensive community and government agency consultation on the Tweed Valley Hospital, the project’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the overall hospital concept, and consent to undertake early works on the site, has been approved.

The NSW Government approved the Stage 1 State Significant Development (SSD) application for the new Tweed Valley Hospital last week.

Residents of the Tweed can take their first look at the concept plans for the $534 million Tweed Valley Hospital, which have been shaped by clinicians, staff and the local community.

The NSW Government is calling for feedback on the concept proposed and planning controls for the new $582 million state-of-the-art Tweed Hospital. 

From the 1st November to 13th December 2018, the Department of Planning and Environment is calling for community feedback on two separate proposals associated with the hospital.
 

Another major milestone in the delivery of the brand new state-of-the-art Tweed Valley Hospital has occurred, with ownership of the site opposite Kingscliff TAFE transferred to the NSW Government on 2 November 2018. Preliminary site works have commenced with the immediate taks being to ensure appropriate environmental control measures are in place.

 

A major milestone in the delivery of the Tweed Valley Hospital occurred on 12 October with the release of the major tender seeking early contractor involvement in the planning, design and delivery of the new hospital.

NSW Health are seeking very early input to the design of the new hospital from the successful contractor. This will allow the experience and innovative ideas from the building sector to work together with Health Infrastructure, Northern NSW Local Health District and the community to ensure every step, from the design to the commissioning of the hospital, reflects best-practice.
