Murdoch Health and Knowledge Precinct - Overview
A hub for innovation, healthcare & education
The Murdoch Health and Knowledge Precinct is set to become a thriving centre for healthcare, education, research, and business development, acting as a catalyst for the larger Murdoch Activity Centre. Once complete, the precinct will feature:
- 1,200 dwellings housing 2,400 residents
- 45,000sqm of health, retail, and commercial space to support a growing urban community
- A one-hectare conservation zone, integrating green spaces with modern urban living
DevelopmentWA is transforming a 9.6ha under-utilised site into a vibrant, mixed-use precinct, delivering the project in two key stages. Stage 1 will feature seven lots (2,324sqm – 5,955sqm) designed for health-related, mixed-use, or residential apartment developments.
A thriving urban hub with world-class connectivity
Murdoch is already a bustling employment, education, and healthcare centre, where thousands of workers, students, and residents converge daily. With high-quality infrastructure, modern transport links, and major employers in close proximity, the Murdoch Health and Knowledge Precinct offers an unparalleled opportunity to live, work, and innovate in a well-connected, future-focused community.

A prime location for living, learning & innovation
Life at the Murdoch Health and Knowledge Precinct puts you in the heart of the Murdoch Activity Centre, an emerging hub for health, education and technology just 12km south of Perth's CBD.
Delivery of the 9.6 hectare site will be the first milestone project for the development of the Murdoch Activity Centre, which is set to become one of Australia's most vibrant non-CBD employment centres.
Within easy walking distance of the Murdoch train and bus interchange, Fiona Stanley Hospital, St John of God Murdoch, Murdoch University and South Metropolitan TAFE, the project offers an opportunity to live, work and study in a prime location.
