Osborne Park Hospital expansion – February construction update

Current and upcoming works

The first quarter of 2026 will be a busy time in and around the Osborne Park Hospital expansion site as the Western Australian Government’s essential preparation activities are completed and site clearing begins.

• Northern carpark development: The WA Government is constructing a new carpark adjacent to Osborne Place near A and K Block to provide parking for patients and visitors. The current A Block car park will remain open while the Stage 1 works are underway. When Stage 1 is complete, the current A Block carpark will close and Stage 2 works will begin
• Site clearing and piling preparation: Over the next few weeks, bulk earthworks will commence to clear and level the main construction site in preparation for construction. Following bulk earthworks, a piling mat will be constructed to prepare for piling works
• Changes to Limosa Close access road: The hospital ring road access via Limosa Close has closed to the public and is restricted to authorised vehicles only. Anyone except authorised vehicles can now access the hospital ring road via Osborne Place, south-east of Dennis Street or via Hugo Street and Civic Place
• New footpaths near A Block and E Block: Work will begin early this month to construct new footpaths from A Block to E Block. Site fencing will be installed around the area before these works begin
• Other works within the hospital site: There are additional works happening within the hospital site near J Block to construct a new waste facility and ambulance bay. A section of J Block carpark has been temporarily closed while the work site is established. Work is also taking place in a section of staff car park 1 to establish a construction site compound that will accommodate construction teams for the duration of the project. Temporary fencing will be installed around the closed section of car park 1.

What to expect

• General construction noise and vibration during some activities, particularly piling and compaction works
• Increased traffic and heavy vehicle movements in the area during construction
• Traffic management, including signage and personnel, to safely assist construction teams, pedestrians, motorists and cyclists where required
• Construction vehicles and equipment including survey equipment, compactor and hand tools (powered and non-powered).

Mitigation measures (including water carts and hoses for dust suppression) will be in place to minimise impacts where possible.
