The Hawkesbury community is set for a major boost to frontline emergency care, with construction now underway on the new South Windsor ambulance station.
The investment at South Windsor will strengthen frontline emergency ambulance services and provide paramedics with a modern base and additional capacity to support the growing Hawkesbury community.
The purpose-built ambulance station on Acacia Close is being delivered as part of the NSW Government’s $615.5 million NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program.
The new ambulance station will include:
- 10 ambulance vehicle parking bays, including a dedicated wash bay
- administration and office areas
- staff amenities, including a gym
- on-site parking
- logistics and storage facilities.
NSW Ambulance selected Acacia Close for the station’s location through a comprehensive service planning process that analysed Triple Zero (000) demand and ambulance response requirements across the region.
Site establishment works are right now underway, with construction activity to increase in the coming months. The new station is expected to be completed in late 2027.
Mettle Projects has been appointed as the building contractor following a competitive tender process and planning approval.
The NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program will deliver 30 new ambulance stations and supporting infrastructure across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, the Hunter and Illawarra regions over the coming years.
The new ambulance station at South Windsor will complement other ambulance infrastructure investments across Western Sydney, including Prestons, Prairiewood, Carlingford and Glendenning.
The Minns Labor Government is also rebuilding frontline health services by strengthening the workforce, including by delivering a historic pay increase for our paramedics and recruiting an additional 500 paramedics in rural and regional areas.
