Building work has begun on new student and staff accommodation for Sydney Adventist Hospital.
The $A85 million project, under construction behind the old primary school site, will replace the current outdated student housing with a bright new modern facility.
The development will feature 126 studio rooms, each equipped with a kitchenette and bathroom, along with a student common area. Additionally, it will include 60 staff apartments, available in one and two-bedroom configurations. Of these, 10-15 apartments will be reserved for short-stay accommodation for visitors to the South Pacific Division (SPD) headquarters and the hospital.
“The project is long overdue,” said SPD Property Trust manager Lorin Bradford. “The current apartment building is no longer fit for purpose and has outlived its functionality.”
The development is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2026.
