How to read this plan

The Blacktown and Mount Druitt

Hospitals Expansion Project

(BMDH Project) will deliver new

services and facilities at

Blacktown Hospital and Mount

Druitt Hospital in western Sydney.

To make our facilities more

welcoming, we created a

comprehensive arts program to

help create more welcoming , less

institutional spaces which help

reduce anxiety, and promote

health, well-being and recovery.

Stage 1 of our project has now

won 13 national and international

awards, including an International

Academy for Design & Health

Academy Award for best use of art

in public and private spaces

(2017).

In stage 2, we are continuing the

success of our stage 1 projects

with an expanded arts and cultural

program called Kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscope includes:

Architectural features

designed by our architects

Jacobs

A program of art developed

by the Health and Arts

Research Centre Inc (HARC) in

consultation with our

community

Donated works curated by

our arts team.

This is our story so far.

Some projects have progressed to

design stage, or to the point

where we have commissioned an

artist or work. Where images are

available , we have included them

in this plan.

Others projects still being

developed in consultation with our

staff, patients, carers and

community. To help bring the

concept to life, we have included

images or projects which inspired

the idea.

These images are for inspiration

only, to assist us with further

engagement and decision-making.

The final design or work will be

developed in partnership with the

stakeholders, including patients,

carers, doctors and nurses, artists

and our project team.

An updated arts and culture plan

will be issued at a later stage, with

more definitive concepts.

BMDH Project stage 2

The multi-award-winning Blacktown and Mount

Druitt Hospitals (BMDH) Expansion Project is

changing the way we care for you.

It includes a major expansion of existing services to

meet increasing demand and the creation of new

services to reduce the need to travel out of the area

for treatment.

The project also includes new clinical technology and

a re-evaluation of how we’re delivering services so

our facilities can support the best contemporary

hospital care.

Stage 1 finished in May 2016 with the opening of the

clinical services building at Blacktown Hospital. Stage

2 is now underway at Mount Druitt Hospital and

Blacktown Hospital.

At Blacktown Hospital, stage 2 will create a new

hospital building in front of the existing buildings and

new facilities for:

Emergency and short stay beds and a new

psychiatric emergency care service

Intensive care unit

Eight new operating theatres

New purpose-built wards for expanded

birthing (with a well-ness model of care),

maternity, women’s health, and newborn

care

New paediatric service with dedicated

emergency department facilities, day stay and

inpatient facilities

Medical imaging, sterilising and non-clinical

support services expansion

Expanded haemodialysis unit for hospital

in-patients and a new regional dialysis centre

for day services, training and education

More parking.

At Mount Druitt, stage 2 projects include:

New Community Dialysis Centre

New Centre for Addiction Medicine

New MRI service

Expanded and enhanced surgical services with

one new digital theatre, pre-admission clinic,

recovery ward.

BMDH Project is already recognised internationally

for its community consultation and consumer

engagement , and our innovative and creative arts

projects are a significant part of our success.

Kaleidoscope arts and cultural plan

Our new stage 2 arts and cultural

program is called Kaleidoscope.

The arts and culture program was

established in 2012 to integrate

art with architecture and respond

to a growing body of research that

shows a correlation between

patient health and supportive

environments.

The purpose of program is to

create more welcoming , less

institutional spaces which help

reduce anxiety, and promote

health, well-being and recovery.

We also wanted our hospital to

reflect the culture and aspirations

of our local community.

Blacktown local government area

is one of the most culturally

diverse in Australia with a mixture

of long-established communities

and recent arrivals, and Australia’s

highest proportion of urban

Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander communities.

Kaleidoscope was selected as a

theme because it represents the

colourful, evolving and dynamic

nature of our hospital and local

community.

Kaleidoscopes are intricate,

beautiful, and ever-changing, but

they are also intriguing and

scientific, which reflects our

medical, research and learning

aspirations.

The coloured glass in a

kaleidoscope mirrors the coloured

glass and distinctive shapes which

form our building façade, and

kaleidoscopes give the holder the

power to influence the patterns or

outcomes - an approach we

honour through our consultation

and engagement strategy.

The kaleidoscope theme can be

creatively interpreted by artists

working on our project.

Consultation and community engagement

To develop the plan, the Health and

Arts Research Centre Inc (HARC) was

commissioned by Health

Infrastructure to consult with our

stakeholders and community.

To date, HARC has consulted with

more than 500 staff, patients, carers,

visitors, volunteers and community

members to inform the plan.

HARC’s research showed that there

was overwhelming support for the

arts created in stage 1, and planning

also revealed that all partner

organisations in stage 1 were proud

of their participation, and were

willing to continue their involvement

in stage 2.

The positive outcomes arising from

the arts program for stage 1

encourage a continuity of themes and

methodology for stage 2, whilst

maintaining a distinct identity for the

new areas.

This approach includes strengthening

partnerships, creating opportunities

for participation and community

cultural development and promotion

of health related themes through

creative activities.

HARC used a range of techniques and

strategies to engage with

communities.

Environmental design research

Focused interviews with users and

key stakeholders

Questionnaires and surveys

Observation of physical traces and

environmental behaviour

Collaborative meetings with BMDH

designers, planners, project

managers and staff.

Creative activities and storytelling

Creation of temporary artworks

involving local communities

Public arts and environmental

research.

HARC is still engaging with groups,

however the trends are strong and

should not change significantly.

Kaleidoscope | BMDH Project Stage 2 Arts and Cultural Plan Progress Report 2017 | Page #

The recommendations from the

community consultation identified

three key findings.

Identity and sense of place

The BMDH arts and cultural program

helps create an identity for the hospital

and assist wayfinding.

Coming to hospital can be stressful,

even confronting for some people, so it

is vital to have a coherent environment

which supports the function and

identity of the hospital, and allows

visitors to fund their way confidently to

the correct destination.

The plan was designed to integrate

with the architecture and design of the

hospital and to create an aesthetically

pleasing environment with a sense of

place.

Engagement and sustainability

The program promotes connection

with users, local communities and

organisations.

It supports the development of new

partnerships, creating opportunities

for further engagement and ongoing

involvement.

Inspiration and innovation

The program seeks to respond to

users’ needs, provide access through

universal design, function as a catalyst

for healthy lifestyles and develop

family-friendly spaces.

Source: HARC Inc community consultation 2016-2017

500 people consulted to date 153 surveys

93% had not been involved in Stage 1 but had high awareness

of the successful art projects to date

Nature and colour were the most popular themes

Most people wanted art that reflected heritage

Waiting rooms and entry areas were a priority

People want art that reflects our multicultural community

and Aboriginal culture

More than half of people valued music, poetry and

performance as well as visual arts

areas

Being and Belonging is an exciting, engaging, collaborative consumer-led arts project which

encourages patients to get more involved in their healthcare by expressing their experience

through art, and directly influencing their care environment.

The program uses photography and video to raise awareness of chronic renal disease and

improve quality of life, especially for young adults living with dialysis.

The program has delivered better patient outcomes by creating a more positive and

uplifting physical space which helps reduce tension, address isolation, alleviate boredom

and promote communication. Participation in the young adults support group has

significantly increased, which is critical to this group’s ongoing physical health and mental

well-being.

The project was extended to the new Community Dialysis Centre at Mount Druitt with four

new stories.

‘I have been on dialysis for ten years now. I work fulltime

at Westmead Hospital. Being on dialysis is a change in

lifestyle, you know sometimes you just can’t go about

things you used to do. It is time consuming, but I still

have time to do things and lead a normal life as much as

possible. I do dialysis on Saturday morning so I can go

out to the football or see friends on Saturday night.” Roy,

Blacktown Hospital dialysis patient. Photo Silia Cluff

Mount Druitt Healing gardens

This project was a proposal of local

Aboriginal elders and was designed in

collaboration with Aboriginal artist Danny

Eastwood and Muru Mittigar Aboriginal

Cultural and Education Centre.

It creates a special garden for the Mount

Druitt Hospital Community Dialysis Centre

which can be shared by the nearby Palliative

Care Unit and the rest of the hospital.

Uncle Danny also collaborated with artist

Henryk Topolnicki, from Art Is An Option, to

create two sculptural seats.

The garden includes motifs designed by

Indigenous artists Uncle Danny Eastwood,

rendered into sculpture by artist Henryk

Topolnicki.

The seat and paving are surrounded by

traditional Aboriginal bush tucker, weaving

and healing plants which will create a rich

sensory and tactile garden experience for

patients, carers and staff.

A contemporary fire pit for smoking

ceremonies and celebrations is a central

features of the garden.

Artways Artworks will be integrated into the outdoor areas around our

new acute services building, creating a sense of identity and

welcoming everyone to the hospital.

Artways will deliver three public artworks that are closely

connected:

Oases – artworks located in the main pedestrian axis rom

Panorama Parade to Blacktown Hospital main foyer. The

artworks will create stop/rest areas with the support of

sculptural elements. They will create interest, and a sense of

wonder - something unexpected in the landscape, a place to

sit perhaps, a place to come when taking a break or to rest

when in transit to and from the hospital.

Paving Features - designed paving details to create

continuity with internal design elements and reinforce

wayfinding and orientation.

Walking Distance Markers - artist-designed elements will

mark the walking distance in a walking circuit. This includes

the signage at the beginning of the walking circuit with

information about the length of the track and

encouragement signage every 100 metres and at the

end. The Markers will be part of the hospital’s planned

walking circuits and will promote an active lifestyle for staff,

and other users.

Building level 7

REF: 8BTN

A community arts project to create artworks for the corridors of

Maternity Unit.

Textiles have traditionally been an important part of women’s lives and

the birth of a child often means presenting special hand made works for

the new baby. This proposed series of works will be made with the

support of community groups and represent the transition from

traditional to contemporary. The work will speak about different cultures,

patterns, and colours to enliven entry to Maternity, as well as patient and

visitors lounges.

The final works will be paintings inspired by traditional weaving and

textiles developed by the community participants.

Inspiration Various textiles

Colours of LOVE

DESIGN: BMDH Fundraising

LOCATION: Blacktown Hospital

Acute Services Building

Maternity Ward level 8

A new fundraising project at Blacktown will help create a decorative wall

display in our new maternity ward, as well as raising money to help pay

for the little extras that make patients feel more comfortable in hospital.

Called Colours of Love, parents and families can buy a small disc with their

child’s name. The plaque will be displayed in our hospital for a year, then

returned to the family as a keepsake.

Colours of Love will

celebrate our babies

and their families.

“This program is about more

than the art we see hanging on

the walls. It’s about designing

spaces for the people who are

going to be within those

buildings, who will move and

interact with those spaces. Art

makes them less stressful

places.”
