The development of a new metropolitan hospital for Sydney's Northern Beaches will provide high quality healthcare services and facilities.

The new high level acute care hospital will include:

• Emergency department
• Intensive care unit
• Maternity services
• Paediatrics
• A range of medical and surgical services
• Enhanced diagnostic facilities.

The NSW Government considered a number of sites for the new hospital, but after detailed assessment, the Frenchs Forest site was identified as the best place for a major metropolitan hospital.

The assessment considered many factors including accessibility, public amenity and room for expansion, environmental impacts and an economic analysis.

Detailed health services planning for the Northern Beaches is now underway.

The site of the new hospital is the north-western quadrant of the intersection of Warringah Road and the Wakehurst Parkway.
