If you thought “Carrie the Crane” was a delightful idea, hold onto your hard hats because Bayside’s little geniuses are once again encouraged to unleash their imagination!
Redland Hospital’s newest 30-metre crane needs a catchy moniker, and it could be yours.
Building Dreams and Bed Spaces
As part of the impressive $77.9 million Redland Hospital Expansion Project, this towering crane plays a vital role in creating a healthcare facility that’s second to none.
The expansion includes a brand-new two-story building, a whopping 37 extra beds, and an intensive care unit. With such a massive upgrade, it’s only fitting that the crane gets a name that reflects the monumental changes taking place.
