Kay Millar, Chair of the Northern Beaches Palliative Care Inpatient Facility Working Group, said it was pleasing to see progress on the building, and that the group’s recommendations on the floor plans had been incorporated, where possible.
"This service is something the community has been wanting for a long time so it is great to see the progress being made," she said.
"We look forward to continuing to work with the hospital over the coming months as the building takes shape."
Construction for the 10-bed Palliative Care Unit and 10-bed specialist aged care unit building is currently underway with expected completion by the middle of next year.
