Construction begins on $1.1 billion Mandurah hospital south of Perth
Construction starts on a new five-storey hospital in Mandurah, south of Perth, at a total cost of more than $1 billion.
Construction has begun on a $1.1 billion Mandurah hospital south of Perth, set to open in early 2029 and cost over $1.1 billion. The new five-storey facility, located on vacant land adjacent to the existing Peel Health Campus, will replace or expand current services and add 111 beds to the state's hospital system. Premier Roger Cook emphasized the need for infrastructure growth in Mandurah and the surrounding Peel region, noting that residents will have access to more care closer to home, reducing the need to travel to Perth for treatment.
The hospital, funded through the government's $2 billion Building Hospitals Fund, will feature an emergency department, mental health emergency centre, maternity and outpatient services, palliative care services, and new cancer treatment services.
