Caughlan had her first glimpse of her

forms a natural meeting place in our

hospital street.

artist and professional tiler, puts the

finishing touches to the mosaic seat.

KINGS OF HEARTS

We love our hospitals! Happy Valentine’s Day

LOVE YOUR WORK: As we get closer to ocmmissioning, some of our long-term construction and project team partners are

heading off to other jobs. It’s farewell this week to serial photo bomber Tony from Laing O’Rourke, who’s going off to dig a

“very big hole” in Sydney’s north. And to Fergal from PwC who’s moving to a new role in the city. In honour of their

departure, we cornered them for our Valentine’s Day shoot - what better way to celebrate their contribution to a project

that’s been crafted with so much care and love than by covering them in red heart balloons! Best wishes and we’ll miss you!

P.S. Congrats to Fergal who pre-empted Valentine’s Day by getting engaged!
