Lyell McEwin Health Precinct Master Plan - City of Playford

The current Lyell McEwin Hospital Stage C redevelopment project will increase the LyellMcEwin Hospital building footprint on the current site, limiting opportunities for futureexpansion, other than vertical opportunities in isolated areas.The health planning and scope of services provided at the Lyell McEwin, which underpinsStage C, is based on a 10 year forward planning window. Forward estimates were based on2006 census data without the benefi t of the 30 Year Plan.The Master Plan has taken a 30 year view consistent with the 30 Year Plan for GreaterAdelaide. However the immediate recommendations are for the next 5 years.The Master Plan is not presented as an “End State Plan” but rather as a “StrategyDocument” with supporting graphics cognisant that the scope of future services cannotbe defi ned at this time and technologies, medical procedures and health programs areevolving rapidly.The Master Plan provides for the physical expansion of the hospital as well as providing forthe allied health activities, retail, professional and personnel services towards creating avibrant Health Precinct with associated urban revitalisation and civic improvements.The Lyell McEwin Health Precinct master plan has identifi ed the opportunity for anadditional 30,000 - 40,000 sqm of health related development with a capital expenditure of$75M - $100M over the next 10 - 15 years.The Precinct is expected to be a major driver for jobs and urban renewal as well asservicing the growing population. The Lyell McEwin Health Precinct will provideopportunities to expand the local health sector with associated urban revitalisation andpublic realm improvements. Once established as an education, training and serviceshub for the health sector the Precinct is expected to attract medical. manufacturing andpotentially pharmaceutical industries adjacent to the Precinct.Figure 1.3 : Northern Adelaide 30 Year Plan Proposals6LYELL McEWIN HEALTH PRECINCT - MASTER PLAN
