Name the Crane winner announced
The Cowra Hospital Redevelopment tower crane has been given a creative new name.
A local primary school student has officially named the 43m-high tower crane installed to support the construction of the $110.2 million Cowra Hospital Redevelopment.
Mulyan Public School student Locky Gee, was announced winner of the ‘Name the Crane' competition for the creative entry ‘Barragi' meaning ‘to fly' in Wiradjuri.
Locky Gee and his year 1 class from Mulyan Public School were hosted onsite by building contractor Richard Crookes Constructions to see the specially created flag raised onto the crane.
The ‘Name the Crane' competition attracted strong interest with over 270 entries from local students and schools. Construction of the new two-level new health facility is taking shape following the completion of the on-ground concrete pours.
The building's structure is now progressing and the suspended concrete pours for level one is expected to be finalised in the coming months.
