On behalf of the University of Sydney and Sydney Local Health District, the following community consultation survey is being led by Urbis and is intended to support the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) for the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for the construction of the Sydney Biomedical Accelerator (SBA).

Situated in Camperdown, the SBA will be a collaborative world-class biomedical research, education and innovation precinct that will integrate world-leading fundamental biomedical science with clinical research and innovation. The SBA will span across both the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPA) and University of Sydney campuses, with direct linkages with RPA, Gloucester House and the Susan Wakil Health Building. See below for the site context map.
 
Through this online survey, we want to understand how the project and the construction of the SBA will impact you. 

We would appreciate your feedback and insights. The survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete, and all responses will be kept anonymous. This survey will be open until Friday 6th October, 2023.
