Work has commenced to clear the site and build the Youth Hospice and now the Government is seeking expressions of interest for the remainder of the site. The Director, Advisory and Transactions, Property and Development NSW Housing and Property Group, Department of Planning, Industry and Environment is encouraging interested parties and potential partners who are interested in working with the NSW Government to take the opportunity to help transform the former Manly Hospital site into a vibrant health and wellbeing precinct.

The Forum worked hard as a member of the community consultation committee in the lead up to this phase to ensure that the former Manly Hospital site was not sold off and that the Government repurpose the area for a health and wellbeing precinct. Anyone out there interested in renovating the old Manly Hospital rehab pool? There is an opportunity to fill a much-needed gap in local orthopaedic, general reconditioning, and musculoskeletal rehabilitation services. Council is meeting with various health and wellbeing providers to put together a proposal and the community hopes that other local health and wellbeing providers will submit proposals.

Importantly, the project will be delivered via a long-term leasehold agreement with the successful proponent ensuring the site remains in government ownership and custodial control.
