Completed in 2015, the 307-bed facility was delivered through a public-private partnership with the Western Australian Government and designed to support a broad range of clinical services across public and private healthcare.

Structural design for challenging ground conditions 

The site presented complex ground conditions, including contaminated soils and reactive clays. BG&E developed a piled foundation solution to manage potential long-term ground movements and support the building’s structural performance. 

The five-storey hospital uses concrete floor systems, with reinforced concrete cores and shear walls providing lateral stability.

Flexible clinical environments

The hospital incorporates 31 types of purpose-designed healthcare pods, configured to meet different patient needs across assisted living, maternity, aged care and mental health services. 

These purpose-designed environments support a diverse range of clinical needs within a single healthcare facility, bringing together public and private hospital services within one development.
