Contractors from Christchurch-based construction company Ceres work on the site of the new Dunedin hospital inpatient building on Thursday.

Ceres was contracted to demolish and dispose of waste from the site’s previous buildings and install piles for the new building.

In late September, the government told the public it was pausing the new Dunedin hospital project to decide whether to continue with a scaled-back version of it, or retrofit the existing hospital.

Tenders for the substructure works on the inpatient building were expected to be issued in late June with work to begin in September. A Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora spokesman said this week’s activity was "business as usual".
