History
In May 2013 the State Government announced the Northern Beaches Hospital would be built at Frenchs Forest. Upon its completion it will become the primary hospital for the Northern Beaches, with Manly and Mona Vale Hospitals to be downgraded.[1] It will be operated by Healthscope.[2] In December 2014, Leighton Contractors were selected to build the hospital.[3]
As part of the project, a series of road enhancements will be made to the adjoining Forest Way, Wakehurst Parkway and Warringah Road by a Ferrovial/York Civil joint venture.[4]
