The crane has been named at new Eurobodalla Hospital site
The crawler crane supporting the new $330 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital now has a name, Gooldy.
6-year-old Otis from Broulee Public School was awarded first prize in the hospital’s ‘Name the Crane’ competition, which invited local students to suggest a name for the crane. His submission honoured Dr Sally Goold OAM the first registered Aboriginal nurse in New South Wales.
Otis was celebrated at a special presentation on-site, attended by the Member for Bega, Dr Michael Holland, alongside the project team and other finalists. The name ‘Gooldy’ is now proudly displayed on the crawler crane, which stands over 70 metres tall and is being used to lift heavy building materials across the construction site.
More than 60 entries were submitted, showcasing the creativity and engagement of the region’s youngest residents as they help shape the future of healthcare in Eurobodalla.
