The $7 million expansion of John Hunter Children’s Hospital was awarded to Donnelley Constructions and works on Stage One have already begun. This much needed upgrade will double the current neonatal intensive care floor space and increase beds from 42 to 53, putting it among the largest of the 10 neonatal intensive care units in the state.

Donnelley Constructions will be building greatly improved facilities for staff and parents, including privacy dividers between each special care crib, reclining chairs and mini fridges for storing breastmilk.

The Hospital’s Director of Newborn Services, Paul Craven, said the unit which opened in 1991, not only takes babies from the sprawling Hunter-New England region, but from across the state as well. He said it was a much needed project for the hospital and will be funded by Hunter Health Infrastructure.

The refurbishment will include demolition of existing internal areas, construction and fit out of the neonatal intensive care unit along with commissioning of all systems and providing operational training to all staff.


More than half of the 70 Castlereagh St building is now covered with panels, with work progressing on an internal construction phase.

The internal construction phase involves working with the building tenants, as well as handling hazardous materials.

Despite encountering delays as a result of asbestos, design and inclement weather, the program forecasts completion date is in 2015. The external works including the façade and Level 11 Deck works are set to finish in July 2015, and the internal reveal works are due to finish in August 2015.

Donnelleys aim is to remove the hoarding from the site as soon as possible.

The project site is on the corner of King Street and Castlereagh Street within the prestigious luxury fashion precinct of Sydney’s CBD.


Donnelley Constructions are in the final stages of completing the contract for earth works on the new Northern Beaches Hospital site.

The contract includes site clearing and statutory authority service diversions including Ausgrid, Gemena, Telstra, Optus, Sydney Water and contaminated material removal.

The new facility will be built on a 6.5 hectare site at Frenchs Forest.

We expect work to be completed in the next month to hand over to Health Scope, who will complete works by the end of 2018.

The new facility will host 488 beds, a 50-space emergency department, 14 operating theatres and six surgical suites.

The hospital will provide surgical, paediatric, obstetric, inpatient mental health services, and offer an emergency department.
