Clayton
There is a strong link between Midland city’s retail heart and the commercial zone of Clayton, with its large-scale shopping centre and prominent public services.
The intersection of Clayton and Lloyd Streets will become the main southern entry to Midland, once Lloyd Street is extended from Clayton Street to the Great Eastern Highway bypass, providing a direct link to Perth International Airport.
Perth’s premier bulky goods centre capitalises on the intersection's easy access and good exposure, providing a specific retail focus for the city centre and channelling movement back towards the primary retail strip along Lloyd Street.
The Clayton precinct features a number of landmark components including:
Western Australian Police Facility
The Western Australian Police Operational Support Facility occupies a 17-hectare area south of Clayton Street. Plans for the site include forensic and emergency operations and mounted and canine facilities. The Communications Centre, constructed in 2000, was the first building on the site and incorporated design characteristics to complement the surrounding heritage buildings. The WA Police facilities house some 650 Police and Police-support personnel.
Clayton North - Midland Health Campus
The new Midland health campus is the first new hospital to be constructed in the region for 50 years and is expected to generate strong activity in the precinct. Construction of the new Midland Health Campus is scheduled to begin in 2012 significantly improving regional health services for private and public patients. St John of God Healthcare has been selected to operate the new facility, which incorporates more than 300 public beds. Additional private beds and supporting clinical facilities will also be developed by the private provider.
The MRA and Department of Health are developing a master plan and design guidelines for the site based around a contemporary, patient-centred design geared to delivering integrated and innovative health care for patients in Perth’s north east corridor and the Wheatbelt.
The Midland Health Campus will be located on an eight hectare site bordered by Clayton Street, Centennial Place and Lloyd Street in the heart of Midland town centre. The campus will back onto the existing railway line with links from the hospital to the Midland train/bus interchange and a new subway at Lloyd Street to improve access for pedestrians and vehicles.
The new facility will offer a comprehensive range of healthcare including a significantly expanded emergency department, general surgery with 24-hour anaesthesia cover, coronary care units, expanded mental health and obstetric services.
