The NSW government has locked in a site for the facility, which will be purpose-built to meet growing emergency care demands in Sydney’s booming north west.
The emergency response scene in Sydney’s north west is set for a major upgrade, with the NSW government locking in the site for a purpose-built ambulance station at Macquarie Park.
Announced today, the station will be developed on a government-owned site at the corner of Khartoum Road and Tasman Place. The site is strategically located next to the M2 motorway to maximise response times across the region.
NSW Ambulance chief executive Dr Dominic Morgan welcomed the announcement.
“Local paramedics will have a purpose-built ambulance station to help them deliver the best possible emergency and mobile medical care to the local community when and where it is needed,” he said.
“The new ambulance station will function in support of other stations located across the greater Ryde, Gladesville and North Shore areas.”
The project is part of the state’s $615.5 million Ambulance Infrastructure Program, delivering 30 new ambulance stations across NSW to meet rising demand from growing communities.
“Our essential services need to grow with the communities they serve, and with major transport and housing projects planned for Macquarie Park it’s a high priority location for out-of-hospital emergency medical care,” said premier Chris Minns.
“I am pleased the community here is a step closer to getting a new ambulance station, with the site now selected in Macquarie Park.”
Using advanced modelling of 000 call data, NSW Ambulance identified Macquarie Park as a high-priority location, with the new facility expected to be a major boost for suburbs across Ryde, Gladesville and the north shore.

Sites for new ambulance stations are now confirmed for North Sydney, South Windsor, Oran Park, Berowra, Prestons, Moss Vale, Bargo, Lisarow, Glendenning, Caves Beach, Carlingford and now Macquarie Park.
The government is recruiting 2500 additional NSW Ambulance staff including 500 paramedics to rural and regional areas, to boost emergency and mobile healthcare for our metropolitan and regional communities.
The Macquarie Park station complements other major health and research investments in the area, including the $526.8 million Ryde Hospital redevelopment and a $96 million RNA research facility at Macquarie University, part of the NSW Government’s broader strategy to deliver health infrastructure alongside housing and transport growth.
