According to a press announcement video on this project, the first two tower cranes will be on site in early Feb for the carpark construction.

I think the site is ready for some tower cranes now. I dont know why they would wait until next year-unless they have not appoined a main contractor yet. See article in today's dvertiser where the CFMEU is trying to freeze out SA subcontractors in favour of Victorian sub contractors that they control.

Good god. Have you bothered to look at the master plan?
Sorry, I just answered my own question - no.

I believe I can make out two crane bases in Anna'a photo. Thanks for sharing it!

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here? The photograph was opportunistically taken from air as I was coming to land. It provides a factual visual information of current site condition. Not sure what that has to do with my interpretation of the master plan.

WGG was responding to abc's suggestion that Gaol Rd was gone for good and not to your post with the photo. The reference to the master plan is relevant as it shows that there will road access to the Gaol through the new hospital development. Prior to the development the only road access to the Gaol was via Gaol Rd from Port Rd.

How many do you think will be on site once the main hospital build starts? 4 + the 2 for the car park?

Not sure mate. Two have been announced to be used for the carpark, not sure how big the hospital proper footprint will be, but I'd suggest hammerhead cranes would be used due to the proximity of the site to the flightpath.

Final demolition is just about done.
I still think this location is the wrong decision, and now we're stuck with its legacy.

Yeah a terrible decision to take even more of Adelaide's parklands - photo taken from a distance yesterday as they wreck the last wall standing

Though I’m still questioning whether this was the right choice or not, the argument of “taking more parklands” feels like a fallacy.
The footprint of the nWCH is very similar to the land occupied by the Police Barracks, the main difference being the new multi-storey parking between Gaol Road and the rail corridor.
If you’re replacing developed land with differently developed land inside the same footprint, you’re not “taking more parklands”.

What will be a hideous carpark is the biggest dealbreaker for me.
