New Rouse Hill Hospital

I completely support the project. I believe a new hospital in the area is long overdue and will really serve the needs of the community now and well into the future. I also completely support the future proofing of the site.

However, I would also like to see housing on site for NSW Health staff,

A new hospital in the rouse hill area will take the pressure off the Blacktown Hospital, given that there had been significant population grown in the surrounding areas in the last decade. However, more important than building new infrastructure, government needs to make sure it has enough qualified doctors and nurses to run the hospital. It means more funding to the hospital and better pay conditions for doctors and nurses.

Please refer to the attached documents.

I am supportive of the new Rouse Hill hospital development and the services it will provide the growing residential community in the north west area of The Hills LGA and neighbouring local council areas. It is also good there are maternity services because a lot of the local residents are in the family stages of their lives, and we need to match this with maternity and early child health services, and educational facilities. The only aspect I would add is that there will be additional strain on public transport and road traffic on Winsdor Rd. It cannot be avoided, it is part of developing entire suburbs like Box Hill and the Blacktown side of Rouse Hill which the LGAs have not accommodated for despite being happy to take our rates money. Can the town planners please discuss with CDC/whoever runs the Sydney bus system to arrange additional bus services to the Box Hill areas, particularly for the Gables area because the other residents of Box Hill are not able to get onto buses going to the Rouse Hill Metro or Town Centre stop because they are already full once they leave the Gables area. Specific routes in question 740 and 746. More buses and more frequent would reduce the number of people driving to Tallawong metro or even Kellyville metro station to park and ride. I dont think there will be sufficient car parking at the new Rouse Hill hospital to deal with the influx of people anticipated for the health services required.
Otherwise the overall design of the hospital, the visual amenity considerations, walkability design etc look well considered from my lay person's perspective.

There seems to be no bike cage for those staff who wish to commute to work by push bike. There should be a secure cage where staff can leave their bikes locked to protect them from theft. This would aid in encouraging staff to ride to work and thus reduce the number of cars on the road. It also encourages environmentally friendly commute.

I would like to see this hospital get build quickly and start now
