Multiplex has been appointed as the builder for the next stage of St John of God’s $700 million Subiaco Hospital redevelopment.
St John of God Health Care proposed a six-storey clinical building with operating theatres and a new chapel as part of Stage Three of the project.
It is understood the first three stages of redevelopment represented a capital investment of more than $700 million.
Stage Three is expected to start in early 2026.
St John of God estimated the new clinical building to open in early 2029.
A dedicated heart centre will be at the new clinical building, to comprise of catheterisation laboratories, cardiothoracic theatres for complex surgery, a 22-bed cardiology ward and a 14-bed coronary care unit.
Other features of the clinical building include additional operating theatres, an expanded orthopaedic surgical area, and a 30-bed day of surgery admissions area.
St John of God Subiaco Hospital chief executive Tina Chinery said appointing Multiplex for Stage Three works marked a major milestone in the redevelopment.
“This next stage of the redevelopment will enable us to expand surgical and procedural capacity, introduce new specialist services and enhance the patient experience through modern, purpose-built facilities,” she said.
Perth-based Multiplex was also the appointed builder for Stage Two of the redevelopment, with works ongoing.
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with St John of God Health Care on this additional stage of work, adding to our extensive health portfolio across Western Australia,” Multiplex regional managing director Chris Palandri.
“Our team is already on site delivering Stage Two of the redevelopment, and we’re looking forward to getting started on this significant transformation of the health campus for Stage Three.”
The ongoing works include upgrades to the hospital entrance and forecourt, engineering, and multi-storey carpark, and replacements to patient lifts.
Stage Two works started in early 2024 and due for completion this year, according to St John of God.
A fourth stage, which includes a 10-storey medical suites, education and research building, has also been proposed.
