2 The Property 2.1 Former Swan District Hospital Site History Swan District Hospital was a 193 bed general hospital with outpatient services under the auspice of the Western Australian Department of Health. The catchment area of the hospital covers the eastern section of the Perth metropolitan area. There had been calls for a government hospital in Midland since the early twentieth century. Deputations to the Minister were made in 1934, 1944, and 1946 before the request received support in 1948. In 1950 the Minister for Health, Dame Florence Cardell Oliver, approved the acquisition of Spring Hill Estate, the site of the current hospital. The existing Spring Hill Estate residence (circa 1904) was considered for reuse as a Maternity Hospital, but it was assessed to be unsatisfactory for the proposed use. The Public Works Department Principal Architect, Albert E. Paddy Clare was therefore made responsible for the planning a new 25 bed Maternity Hospital which was completed in 1954. Despite a need for general beds in the area it was not until 1960 that the loan funds were forthcoming for a 40 bed general ward wing. The wing was opened in 1963 and included major and minor operating rooms and recovery rooms; laboratory services; physiotherapy treatment rooms; X-ray suite; laundry and boiler; among other features A further 40 bed expansion to the General Wards occurred by 1971 which provided for acute beds and staff accommodation. The main wards were organised on a double corridor system, with a central core and perimeter wards. Each wing had its own toilet block which was intended to reduce staff work load. A nurse s station was centrally located in each corridor, with each station attending to twenty beds. In 1984 a psychogeriatric extended care unit was constructed at the south of the site which contained 24 beds and 30 day spaces. The hospital s basic services of catering and stores were expanded at this time. In 2001 this wing was expanded to provide beds for general psych patients. In the late 1980 s an Ambulance Station was built on the south east corner of the site adjacent to Great Northern Highway. In 1993 a major expansion occurred with the completion of Block A Operating Theatres, Therapies and General Ward. This Block, strategically located in the centre of the site, was planned to become the main entrance in any future redevelopment of the hospital which involved the replacement of earlier buildings. In 1996 a Dental Surgery was built in the northeast corner of the site. Swan District Hospital over a 60 year period has been the primary health services provider to the Eastern Metropolitan Region. The Swan District Hospital site was identified as surplus when in 2015 the new 307 bed Midland Health Campus was opened and the new hospital s state-of-the-art facilities will deliver new and expanded services to public patients with 50 per cent more beds than the former Swan District Hospital. The Health Campus will enable many more local people to access healthcare closer to home. This new campus forms part of the Bigger Picture for the health portfolio. The Swan District Hospital (SDH) Site comprises a single lot with a land area of approximately 10 hectares and being Lot 10266 on Deposited Plan 185055 (Vol/Fol: LR3147/345); the site is a Crown Reserve owned by the State of Western Australia and is managed under a Management Order to the Minister for Health. 2 Swan District Hospital Site EOI
If a sale of the site proceeds, the Management order will be surrendered and a Freehold Title will be created on the transfer of the land by the State acting through the Department of Lands. Located in Middle Swan, the site is bounded by Eveline Road to the north and Great Northern Highway to the east with the only access from Eveline Road. It is approximately 15 kilometres north east of Perth CBD and 2.5 kilometres north of the Midland Central Business District. The site is adjacent to the Swan River which is approximately 700 metres to the west. The site has varied topography, with areas of gradual slope with the majority of the landform being generally flat. Blackadder Creek traverses the eastern portion of the landholding in a southwesterly direction, and this area is the subject of a 30 metre exclusion zone in recognition of Aboriginal Heritage. A variety of land uses surround the site with La Salle College to the south, Midland Brickworks to the west, Reserves and Recreation to the south-west and low density residential to the east of Great Northern Highway. The site contains 15 buildings ranging between 1 and 2 storeys together with 12 off street carparks. Preliminary condition reports, on the suitability of the existing buildings for reuse, supports 2 buildings (Blocks A and G) as being suitable for adaptive re-use. The site is currently zoned Urban under the MRS and Local Scheme Reserve Public Purposes under the TPS which will require a TPS Amendment and a Local Structure Plan to enable the site to be redeveloped to urban. The City of Swan is predicting significant growth in its aged population over the next 20 years, especially within existing population centres such as Midland and Guildford and growth areas such as Ellenbrook, Bullsbrook and the Urban Growth Area to the north west of Midland. The City is therefore keen to enable the development of suitable accommodation within the region to meet current and future growth needs for their ageing population. The City believes the former Swan District Hospital site provides an ideal location to meet current and future needs. The City is keen therefore to support and assist in the development of the site for this purpose. No suspected asbestos containing materials were observed on the site during the course of detailed site investigation. However, some of the older buildings have been constructed using asbestos materials and any potential buyer or developer should consider this situation when preparing an Expression of Interest for the site. 2.2 The Opportunity LandCorp on behalf of the State of Western Australia acting through the Department of Lands is seeking Expressions of Interest from Proponents to master plan a development at the now vacated former Swan District Hospital site.
