Narrabeen Ambulance Station Site Redevelopment Confirmed: Jacqui Scruby MP states New Narrabeen Ambulance Station will save lives
On Monday November 24 2025 NSW Minister for Health Ryan Park confirmed the community will benefit from a new ambulance station, with the current Narrabeen Ambulance Station set to be replaced on its existing site.
The new Narrabeen Ambulance Station is one of 30 additional ambulance stations being delivered as part of the Government’s $615.5 million NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program.
The new and purpose-built ambulance station will boost frontline health infrastructure and support local paramedics to provide the best emergency and mobile medical care now and into the future for the growing region of Sydney.
The existing site on Pittwater Road was confirmed as the most suitable location to optimise response performance and meet the future emergency health needs of the community following an extensive land search across Dee Why and the Manly to Barrenjoey peninsula.
Health Infrastructure and NSW Ambulance carried out a thorough evaluation of the site to ensure it continues to best meet the needs of our emergency ambulance operations and paramedic staff.
All sites are evaluated based on size, location, access and traffic considerations, and other factors that may influence development timelines and costs.
Locations for new stations are determined by NSW Ambulance following a comprehensive service planning process using best practice modelling software which maps Triple Zero calls.
The new ambulance station will feature internal parking for up to 10 emergency ambulance vehicles, vehicle wash facilities, administration, multipurpose and logistics spaces, as well as staff amenities.
The next steps for the project include design development and seeking planning approval for the new station. Construction and operational timeframes will be confirmed as the project progresses. The community will be kept up to date through project planning and delivery.
The local community will continue to have 24/7 ambulance coverage during planning and construction of the new Narrabeen Ambulance Station.
NSW Ambulance is consulting with staff about temporarily relocating crews to Mona Vale Ambulance Station throughout the construction timeframe. Paramedics are a mobile workforce, which can be rapidly deployed across the response network to maintain service levels.
The NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program will deliver 30 additional ambulance stations and supporting infrastructure across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, the Hunter and Illawarra regions over the coming years.
The NSW Government is recruiting 2,500 additional NSW Ambulance staff including 500 paramedics to rural and regional areas, to boost emergency and mobile healthcare for our metropolitan and regional communities.
Minister for Health Ryan Park stated:
“The new Narrabeen Ambulance Station will support local paramedics to provide the best emergency and mobile medical care to the local community well into the future.
“This is a great outcome for the surrounding communities on the Northern Beaches with the existing site to be completely redeveloped to provide a modern and purpose-built facility to support our hardworking paramedics as they deliver high-quality emergency and mobile medical care.
“More ambulance stations, more paramedics, faster response times and better patient outcomes – a win for our community and a win for our hard-working paramedics.”
Pittwater MP: New Narrabeen Ambulance Station will save lives
Jacqui Scruby MP for Pittwater says a new ambulance station at Narrabeen announced this week will save lives by ensuring we have locally based paramedic services.
“This is a huge win for Pittwater. We will retain a station with Intensive Care Paramedics, which was at risk of being lost to Dee Why when I first came to office.
“Losing Narrabeen Ambulance Station was one of the first issues I raised with the Health Minister, challenging the assumption that a mobile network of ambulances would adequately meet our needs. I stressed that being on a peninsula on the outskirts of Sydney, we simply can’t leverage the radius of available ambulances - we are one road in, one road out and Narrabeen must remain.
“I am appalled by the state of this station. It’s been neglected for decades - with busted windows, ambulances that don’t fit inside being prepped in the rain, and lax security with scheduled prescription drugs. It is 65 years old and former governments and local Liberal MPs have failed to upgrade and provide safe work conditions. It is shameful.
“I’d like to pay tribute to the ambulance crews and their Health Services Union (HSU) representatives whose actions blacklisting the site were the catalyst for this announcement from the Government. The whole community will benefit from their advocacy, as well as their ongoing service.
“Our ambulance workers deserve safe and fit-for-purpose stations, and investment in Narrabeen is long-overdue.
“I’ll push the government to commence works as soon as possible and to work with the HSU representatives to make sure the site is fit for purpose, including drainage works to prevent flooding.
“This is a vital upgrade, which will ensure more paramedics and faster response times across Pittwater and the Northern Beaches. It will undoubtedly save lives,” said Ms Scruby.
Minister Park has confirmed our community will continue to have 24/7 ambulance coverage during planning and construction of the new Narrabeen Ambulance Station. NSW Ambulance is consulting with staff about temporarily relocating crews to Mona Vale Ambulance Station throughout the construction timeframe to maintain service levels.
A new ambulance station was opened at Mona Vale Hospital campus late in 2021.
Member for Wakehurst Michael Regan stated:
“Our local paramedics need the right resources to do their job. This announcement of a brand new station for Narrabeen is a big step in the right direction.
“A new ambulance station is desperately needed and has been a long time coming. I want to thank local NSW Ambulance staff for their patience. For them, it will mean a modern fit-for-purpose workplace. For residents, it means a better resourced local ambulance service to deliver and provide access to healthcare when we need it most.
“I look forward to seeing the new station up and running as soon as possible.”
Chief Executive NSW Ambulance Dominic Morgan said:
“This new purpose-built ambulance station at Narrabeen will ensure our paramedics have the modern facilities to support, the delivery of world-class emergency care to the community.
“A new Narrabeen station will provide a comfortable, functional and modern environment for our dedicated staff, which we know makes a real difference to morale and wellbeing.”
