- Contract awarded for forward works for Peel Health Campus redevelopment
- $152 million project to deliver major upgrades for Peel region
- Forward works include additional car parking and a new Central Energy Plant shell
The redevelopment of the Peel Health Campus (PHC) has reached a significant milestone, with a contract now awarded for the project's forward works.
The forward works are a crucial step in the redevelopment and include additional public and staff car parking, engineering service adjustments and upgrades and a new Central Energy Plant shell.
The works are being carried out by Devlyn Australia Pty Ltd after a tender process, with work expected to commence at the site in the coming months.
Detailed planning continues to deliver the Cook Government's $152 million redevelopment of PHC, which is being managed in phases, allowing the continued operations of the hospital.
In December 2024, a new Central Sterile Supply Department, which sterilises important equipment, was opened at PHC as part of the redevelopment.
The redevelopment includes:
- additional public and staff parking;
- a new mental health emergency centre and 20 new mental health beds;
- an additional operating theatre;
- 30 additional inpatient beds;
- 12 additional chemotherapy chairs and 15 new palliative care hospice beds;
- more outpatient services;
- new build of medical imaging services;
- a further reconfiguration of the emergency department;
- expansion of the day procedure unit; and
- essential hospital facilities to support the uplift in clinical capacity, including new kitchen, pathology and pharmacy services.
The 30 additional beds being delivered as part of the redevelopment come on top of the 33 extra public beds already delivered as part of PHC's return to public hands.
The Peel Health Campus returned to public hands in August 2024 and this next major overhaul will ensure it continues to provide the best possible service to the community.
As stated by Premier Roger Cook:
"This major redevelopment will ensure Peel Health Campus can serve the Peel community for decades to come and it's fantastic to see that works are now underway.
"We know parking at busy hospital sites can be a major headache for patients and staff, which is why we are adding additional bays at PHC.
"These upgrades are part of my Government's record investment in health, to deliver high-quality care for all Western Australians, regardless of where they live."
As stated by Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson:
"The Peel Health Campus returned to public hands in August 2024, and we are now getting on with the job of revitalising this important hospital.
"As well as this $152 million investment, a new community mental health and eating disorder centre to enhance services in the region is also being developed in partnership with the Commonwealth."
As stated by Mandurah MLA David Templeman:
"The Cook Government's redevelopment will add 30 more inpatient beds including palliative care hospice beds - as part of a significant upgrade to services.
"It was a proud day when PHC returned to public hands and I'm just as proud to mark this next important milestone for this vital health service."
As stated by Dawesville MLA Lisa Munday:
"Peel Health Campus staff do a fantastic job of caring for our community and soon they will have the facilities to match.
"As part of this project, the Cook Government is delivering more outpatient services, new medical imaging services, a reconfigured emergency department which includes a separate mental health emergency centre, and expanded day procedure unit."
As stated by Murray-Wellington MLA Robyn Clarke:
"No other Government has done more for Peel Health Campus, and I'm thrilled to see the development taking shape.
"The Cook Government is investing in a new mental health emergency centre and extra chemotherapy places at PHC, and these new car parks will be fantastic for staff and patients."
