In March 2009 the Stage One contract was awarded. Construction commenced on-site on 23 September 2009 after an extensive environmental program was undertaken, which saw more than 300 grass trees and zamias removed from the site to be replanted within the operational hospital grounds.

Native plants which are difficult to grow from seeds, including orchids and other plants, were also recovered from the site to be replanted at Fiona Stanley Hospital and nearby conservation areas at a later date.

Sixty-one quendas (southern brown bandicoots) were transferred to the Department of Environment and Conservation for relocation to Julimar Conservation Park. In addition, more than 4500 reptiles and amphibians, including frogs, snakes and lizards, were successfully relocated to Beeliar Regional Park.

In November 2010, Fiona Stanley Hospital was the winner of the WA Environment Award in the Government Leading by Example category.
