New artists’ impressions have been released showcasing the evolving design of the new Women and Babies Hospital, which is being delivered by Webuild in Perth, Western Australia. 

The new artists’ impressions provide the community with a more detailed glimpse of the future facilities planned for the new Women and Babies Hospital in Murdoch, including the façade, rooms, public spaces and entrances. 

Construction of the hospital’s main 12-storey block and an adjoining six-storey block is now underway at the Murdoch site.  

Seen in more detail for the first time is the six-storey building, which features: 

• a family birth centre with its own entrance 
• parent and patient accommodation designed to support people who need to temporarily relocate from regional and rural areas to Perth for specialised healthcare services at the hospital 
• a sanctuary – a dedicated space for respite and support. 

The six-storey building's terracotta and bronze colour scheme derives from the local sheoak tree, while the moitch tree is the inspiration behind the design of the main building, which ranges in colour from brown shades and ochres to soft greens and teal.   

Both the moitch and sheoak trees are considered significant cultural and medicinal trees in Noongar Whadjuk culture, with women traditionally giving birth beneath the sheoak tree because of the soft needles it produces.   

The project is underpinned by sustainability principles, with both facilities being fully electric and targeting Green Star certification through the Green Building Council of Australia. 

The final design stage, known as detailed planning, is now underway and is due for completion later this year. 

Together with a major expansion of Osborne Park Hospital, the landmark New Women and Babies Hospital Project, will expand services and choice for women, families and newborns when the new facilities open in 2029. 

Webuild is committed to safely delivering these important healthcare facilities, which will support the Western Australian community for generations to come.  

Webuild brings significant international and local expertise to the delivery of both projects, drawing on a global portfolio of more than 200 healthcare facilities, including some of the world’s most innovative hospitals. 

Together with its Australian subsidiary Clough, Webuild continues to strengthen its presence in Australia, now confirmed as the Group’s second-largest market after Italy. In Western Australia, the Group has a project delivery legacy spanning more than 100 years, including iconic infrastructure such as the Narrows Bridge, Graham Farmer Freeway tunnels and Forrestfield-Airport Link. 

Webuild and Clough are currently delivering several major projects across the State, including the Woodman Point Water Treatment Facilities Upgrade, Dampier Bulk Handling Facility and Project Ceres, one of the world’s largest urea plants.
