IN AN EMERGENCY DIAL 000
A world Class health and medical PRECINCT
Murdoch Square is part of the Murdoch Health and Knowledge Precinct, a 10-hectare expanse, situated 13kms south of the Perth CBD and 10kms to the east of Fremantle, where healthcare, research, education, and innovation converge.
Murdoch Square is co-located with Fiona Stanley Hospital, St John of God Hospital, Wexford Medical Centre and Murdoch University campus, and is less than 1km from the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and South Metropolitan TAFE.
Home to a diverse range of medical professionals and services
Comprising five connected, multi-storey buildings, that surround a landscaped community plaza, Murdoch Square brings together exceptional medical, health and aged care services, alongside a range of community and recreational facilities, including childcare, gym and wellness centre, a host of retail, food and beverage venues and short-stay hotel accommodation for out-of-town families of hospital patients or students at Murdoch University.
Commercial office space and residential accommodation, including specialist disability apartments, are also located onsite within the precinct.
Ecologically-friendly community spaces with environmental sustainability at its core
Murdoch Square has achieved a 5 Star Green Star – Design & As Built v1.2 certification from the Green Building Council of Australia, recognising the precinct as an Australian Excellence benchmark for sustainable development. Murdoch Square is one of the few mixed-use developments in WA to receive this certification. Achieving a 5 Star Green Star rating required a significant body of work across all aspects of the project, from design and construction through to operational performance and occupant wellbeing.
Key sustainability initiatives include high-performance façades and building systems, an extensively landscaped podium featuring public art installations, the use of certified low-toxicity materials, and strong connectivity to public transport. End-of-trip facilities and provision of EV chargers support active and low carbon transport. A net zero carbon construction process involved low carbon materials and efficient design, and supporting conservation and nature restoration projects to offset the remaining emissions.
Green Building Council Australia assesses sustainability outcomes from the design and construction of new buildings or major refurbishments, across nine holistic impact categories, encouraging industry to create buildings that are not just green but healthy, liveable, productive, resilient and sustainable.
The Largest employment zone outside of the Perth CBD
Open to the public in March 2024, Murdoch Square is the result of successful collaboration between the State Government of Western Australia, South Metropolitan Health Service, Development WA, Hesperia and Aegis Health in response to urgent demand for increased medical and health services in Perth’s thriving southern corridor. Now complete, Murdoch Square will help ease the pressure on nearby hospitals and medical centres.
As part of the broader Murdoch Health and Knowledge Precinct, the location is expected to become the largest specialist zone and centre for employment outside of the Perth CBD, with more than 10,000 visitors expected each day, providing around 35,000 people with employment, and tertiary education facilities for approximately 44,000 students.
