The Cook Government has revealed designs of the new Peel Health Campus hospital but has not revealed how much it will cost.
The roughly 260 bed development will add around 65 beds compared to the existing campus.
Heath Infrastructure Minister John Carey said construction would begin in 2026 and be complete in 2029.
Mr Carey said he could not yet reveal the estimated cost of the building saying he’d wait till the tender — set to go out on Monday — had been finalised.
The Peel community has been waiting since 2020 for construction to begin on the site’s redevelopment, with $70 million having already been spent on early and ground works for a redevelopment.
It is not clear how much of the already spent funding had gone towards ground works which will also be used for the new building and how much had gone to planning the now cancelled project.
Roger Cook insisted the revamped plan will be quicker and easier.
“The new building will be located on this greenfield site next to the existing Peel Health Campus and that will allow us to build the hospital faster, hopefully cheaper but more importantly, without disruption to current health services here at the hospital,” he said.
“It also means that the existing facilities will be able to be utilised for additional health services.”
The new building was announced on Thursday as part of a $1.5 billion spend on hospitals, including buying a privately operated hospital in Mt Lawley and building a new section of Royal Perth Hospital.
