Community and other key stakeholder input
We consulted a range of stakeholders including local government authorities, site neighbours, State Government agencies and local residents between August and November 2006 in relation to structure planning for the Murdoch site.
A community engagement program, with an online component, was also developed to ensure the general public could contribute to the look and feel of the new hospital. Groups represented included:
- young people
- people from non-English speaking backgrounds
- representatives of regional Western Australia
- other health consumers
In 2008 and 2009, clinical and community groups also viewed mock-ups of patient and consulting rooms and provided feedback, which has been used to assist the design team in the development of the hospital.
A Community Reference Group was formed in early 2009 and is consulted at regular meetings. The Community Reference Group is one of a number of that are consulted about various elements of the hospital’s design and development.
