Tree cutting has begun.

There seems to be some continued minor early works. Mobile crane on site today.

Also, imagine failing so hard at the planning of this project that a rail station isn't even considered as part of it.

Agreed. Both a tram stop near the main entrance and a railway station to the immediate north of the Port Road bridge would ensure that the entirety of ‘BioMed City’ is easily accessible from all directions.

Adding a train station in that location might be a small challenge, but while both sides of the corridor are vacant and could accomodate widening, it would certainly futureproof this precinct.

The hulking 1950s carpark will make it hard. So dumb.

A train station there would also be amazing useful for events in Bonython Park.

Relocate Mile End station to the hospital location.

The police horses have been relocated and site clearance has started. I think the cycle safety centre closes in a couple of weeks:

Hang on has a final design been allocated for this project?

Probably not, planning approval is just a formality at this point. I'm pretty sure legislation has passed parliament that allows this building to be constructed without hinderance.

Finalised renders of the new women’s and Children’s Hospital have been released and construction is now allegedly underway. I like it. It looks cohesive and modern in my opinion.

That massive carpark building

The carpark looks like its from Soviet Russia

also, how do you post large images in here without the stupid border line around it. Pisses me off

Guess they could add a green wall with plants on the car park? similar to Adelaide Oval's western stand..

Ground was broken on Tuesday morning for $306m worth of early works on the hospital’s 1300-space car park and a two-storey central energy facility.

The new hospital will be the first 100 per cent electric public hospital in South Australia.

What is this two storey central energy facility? I assume its related to the second quote?

The new site will provide room for both the new Women’s and Children’s Hospital and the Royal Adelaide Hospital to expand in the future.

This is important, which the alternative that some people thought was a better option across the road on the new market site wouldn't allow for without property acquisition.

It will also benefit from a four-bed integrated Intensive Care Unit for women, co-located with the Paediatric ICU enabling women requiring high-level care to remain at the new Women’s and Children’s Hospital, rather than being transported to the RAH.

Does this address the theory that people will be put in ambulances or wheeled down the road to the RAH?

Not sure if this was previously posted, but I don't recall seeing it before. Click on the link to open or download.
