A new three-story wing will be constructed at the Northern Hospital in Epping with the major expansion to meet the needs of the growing population in the Northern suburbs.  The State Budget will include $29 million for the redevelopment that will deliver an additional 32 beds and provide capacity for further expansion in the future. As part of the expansion, the new three-storey building will have the capacity to allow an additional three floors to be added at a later date when required.  There will also be capacity for further ground floor expansion.

Construction will commence in late 2014 and is expected to be completed in 2016.
