Once the services transition to the new hospital, the future use of King Edward Memorial Hospital and the land on which it sits will become the responsibility of the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, and a decision for the State Government.
The memorial garden will remain on the existing site and continue to be available for families to visit and future memorials.
Two new multi-deck car parks are being built as part of the New Women and Babies Hospital Project. The new car parks, along with improvements to the surrounding road networks, will support future growth at the Fiona Stanley Hospital precinct as it becomes home to the new Women and Babies Hospital. 
We are committed to engaging with patients, family members, carers, visitors, staff and the community to deliver facilities and services that meet the needs of all Western Australians.
To date, community members have taken part in:
focus groups on patient pathways
user groups with staff and clinicians
online workshops to provide important lived experience insights to inform project planning
Project Community Advisory Group meetings to help make the new facilities welcoming, inclusive, safe and appropriate for everyone who uses them.
We are also engaging with Aboriginal peoples and organisations to help inform and shape the new facilities in a way that is meaningful and culturally appropriate.
