Wollongong is rapidly growing and changing, attracting public and private investment to increase housing supply and choice, deliver new employment opportunities, and improve public spaces, infrastructure and services.
The emerging Wollongong Health Precinct plays an important role in contributing to this growth. The NSW Government is developing a place-based strategy to outline the future vision for the Wollongong Health Precinct and guide ongoing growth in the area.
Place-based strategies are focused on protecting and enhancing the unique values of a place as it grows and changes. Public engagement is fundamental to this process, to ensure development aligns with community values and aspirations.
Shaping the Wollongong Health Precinct Strategy
The Shaping Wollongong Health Precinct Strategy (PDF, 6.5 MB) discussion paper is an important early step in shaping the future of the Wollongong Health Precinct.
The discussion paper was developed by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure in collaboration with NSW Health, Transport for NSW, and Wollongong City Council to start a conversation with community and stakeholders about how the precinct might change over time.
From December 2023 to February 2024 we sought community and stakeholder feedback on the discussion paper. During this time the NSW Government held information sessions for the community and landowners where the project team was available to answer questions about the project and share information regarding its development.
For a summary of the feedback we received view the Engagement Outcomes Report (PDF, 1.7 MB).
The Department is working on a draft strategy and will share more details about engagement opportunities in the new year. These opportunities will be part of the strategy's public exhibition to start in early 2025.
