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".

PsychologyCare Expands Support For Men's Mental Health In Melbourne
Appointments are available at both Malvern and Prahran locations, with flexible scheduling options including before and after standard working hours, as well as weekends. PsychologyCare, a Melbourne-based psychology practice, is expanding its support for men's mental health through specialised services at its clinics in Malvern and Prahran. The practice, staffed by an experienced team of clinical psychologists, provides a range of evidence-based therapies in safe and supportive environments. The need for targeted mental health support for men has become increasingly recognised, with societal factors often making it more difficult for men to seek help or express emotional distress. According to PsychologyCare, men are less likely to openly discuss mental health challenges, which can contribute to higher rates of depression and suicide among males compared to females. In response, PsychologyCare offers access to men's psychologists in Melbourne who are experienced in addressing issues such as stress, burnout, depression, parenting, sexual dysfunction, and difficulties with vulnerability and anger. The practice's approach is grounded in the understanding that mental health difficulties are often a rational response to life circumstances, rather than a sign of personal failure. PsychologyCare's team aims to provide a non-medicalised, compassionate setting where clients can explore the underlying causes of their distress and work towards positive change. The clinics are designed to be comfortable and private, supporting both clients and therapists in the therapeutic process. Appointments are available at both Malvern and Prahran locations, with flexible scheduling options including before and after standard working hours, as well as weekends. Prahran psychologists at PsychologyCare are trained to work with a diverse client base, including those experiencing life transitions, changes in mood or energy, and family or work-related stress. PsychologyCare continues to adapt its services to meet the evolving mental health needs of the Melbourne community, with an emphasis on accessibility and tailored care for men and other groups seeking psychological support.
