Herbert Street Precinct, St Leonards
The Herbert Street Precinct is a whole-of-government initiative that will activate underused land in St Leonards, next to the Royal North Shore Hospital.
In partnership with other NSW Government agencies, we are working to secure the vision for a thriving precinct. The initial stage will deliver housing, improve the public domain by optimising access to established essential services in transport, health, and education. The precinct will also support a rapidly growing St Leonards population.
New housing will be provided on Lot 4B which is land owned by us. To achieve this, the land is being considered for rezoning as part of the Crows Nest Transport Oriented Development rezoning proposal to create more homes close to transport, jobs and services.
Royal North Shore Hospital Campus Master Plan
NSW Health has completed planning work to secure the hospital’s clinical capacity, now and into the future.
The Royal North Shore Health Master Plan includes the whole campus and its connection to land we own, which together form the Herbert Street Precinct. The master plan includes expanding clinical and non-clinical services over the next 40 years.
NSW Health has also done planning to consider the non-clinical facilities that consumers, the workforce and visitors to the hospital campus will need. This includes:
- education and research facilities
- green space
- better transport
- childcare
- diverse and affordable accommodation for health workers.
The NSW Government will ensure the hospital remains a world-class health precinct and that revitalising the Herbert Street Precinct does not detract from clinical services in the future.
Consultation
We are currently looking into a range of options that meet community needs and NSW Government priorities. We will consult stakeholders and the community when we complete this work.
The NSW Government will work closely with all partners, stakeholders and the community as planning for the precinct progresses.
