NAME THE CRANE COMPETITION

SHARE

Local school students are being invited to name the two tower cranes supporting the delivery of the new Shellharbour Hospital.

The first crane arrived at site in late March and will be integral to the construction of the new seven storey hospital. The second crane is scheduled to arrive in the coming months.

To help celebrate the crane’s arrival, local primary school children are invited to take part in a “Name the Crane” competition, with the two winning names to be placed on each crane. The Prizes include:

• An iPad for each of the winners
• Official crane naming ceremony including a photo opportunity with the flag of their chosen name to be hoisted above the crane.

The crane’s arrival follows significant progress on site, with the recent completion of 540 concrete foundations for the ground floor of the new building.

The winners will be announced in May.
