Former Cadbury site to be chockablock with Dunedin's new hospital
A nine-storey inpatient block for Dunedin's new hospital will be built on the city's former Cadbury factory site.
The factory will be demolished, apart from a facade on the old dairy block, to make way for the new main inpatient facility.
The $1.4 billion rebuild of Dunedin's current ageing facility is one of the largest infrastructure projects in New Zealand, with more than 1000 workers expected to work on the project.
The new hospital is expected to be completed in November 2028, but the Government announced in December that it would fast-track the outpatient and day surgery building so both could be finished by November 2024.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
