The state government has revealed a first-look at what WA’s new women’s and babies hospital in Murdoch will look like, as site preparations for its construction get underway.
The 274-bed, 12-storey hospital will be built at the Fiona Stanley Hospital precinct at a site that is currently a car park.

The first stage of the build will be removing the asphalt and levelling the site.
In addition to the new hospital, two multi-level car parks accommodating 2500 cars will also be built.
It’s expected the hospital will open in 2029 and replace King Edward Memorial Hospital.
Health Infrastructure Minister John Carey said the first part of the development application had been approved.
“We are on schedule, we are very clear that we are committed to delivering and opening this hospital in 2029 and anyone who doubts that can just look at the site right now, earthworks are underway,” he said.
