Lendlease celebrates Randwick Campus Redevelopment contract win
19 August 2019
Lendlease has been awarded the main
works contract to build
Prince of Wales Hospital’s new Acute Services
Building. This is part of the
NSW Government’s $720 million Randwick
Campus Redevelopment.
At the peak of construction in mid-2020, Lendlease will have
approximately 600 construction workers on site. In line with
NSW
Government commitment the Acute Services Building is on track to open in
2022.
In an added boost for the community, the project will deliver on the NSW
Government Priorities to support high quality education and strong local
communities through establishing a partnership with
TAFE NSW and
implementing a
skills exchange program alongside supporting the
implementation of a Skills Legacy Pilot program. The Skills Legacy Pilot
program will provide employment and training for women, Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander people, long term unemployed, and apprentices.

“We’re delighted to once again be engaged by the New South Wales
Government in the delivery of important health infrastructure for the
State.
“In the past decade, we’ve successfully completed more than 50
hospital
and health related projects across Australia, with 16 completed in New
South Wales. These include projects which have been successfully
delivered for NSW Government including the
Gosford Hospital
Redevelopment. Other projects include
Newcastle Mater Hospital
Redevelopment,
Campbelltown Macarthur Hospital and
Macquarie University
Private Hospital.
“Construction of the new Acute Services Building will ensure the NSW
Government benefits from our proven health and hospitals expertise,
which have been developed through successful delivery of the Gosford
Hospital Redevelopment, Victoria’s
Bendigo Hospital and the
Sunshine
Coast University Hospital in Queensland.
“Importantly, we are partnering with NSW Government on a strong
commitment to create more jobs in local communities for
women,
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, the long-term unemployed and
apprentices as part of the project’s delivery.
“Today’s announcement follows more than 18 months of successful
collaboration between Lendlease, NSW Government and other key
stakeholders on this important project.”
