NWB-GEN-GE-DCA-1031 EOI - Public Art - New Women and Babies Hospital

⁠⁠⁠Webuild, as WA Life, will deliver the design and construction of the New Women and Babies Hospital Project (NWBHP) in Perth.

Commissioned by the Western Australian Government, the landmark project aims to replace the century-old King Edward Memorial Hospital and expand services and choice for women, newborns and families in Western Australia.

The Women and Babies Hospital (WBH) will be built within the Fiona Stanley Hospital (FSH) precinct in the southern suburb of Murdoch. The project also includes a major expansion of Osborne Park Hospital (OPH), located in the northern suburb of Stirling.

As Managing Contractor, WA Life will complete the design and engineering, procurement, construction, and handover of health care facilities located at FSH and OPH. The WBH health facility will essentially be a greenfield site containing a new 78,000sqm state-of-the-art hospital and operating campus.

The OPH health facility will be a brownfield site within the existing OPH precinct. It involves the demolition and expansion of the existing and operational (non-teaching) hospital with complex interfaces.
