Cessnock Hospital redevelopment progresses with builder appointment

Hansen Yuncken was appointed for the project.

The $88.4m (A$138m) Cessnock Hospital redevelopment has progressed, with Hansen Yuncken appointed as the builder for the project.

The appointment follows the statutory planning approval for the project, which has been shaped by community feedback throughout the planning and design.

The redevelopment involves the construction of a new acute services building, which will feature an expanded emergency department, operating theatre and day surgery facilities, two new inpatient wards, a sterilising services unit, a medical imaging service, and a modern pharmacy.

Construction is expected to be completed in 2027.
