Eddie Spiteri: I never thought I'd have a crane named after me. It's very humbling.

Emma Colman: We've got six cranes on the New Melton Hospital site and four of them have been named. It's so exciting that we are naming four cranes after inspiring locals from the west.

Professor Russell Harrison: Mandy stood out for her leadership, her care, her compassion and really extolling those virtues of Western Health into best care. Eddie has created that culture of excellence in engineering and has really driven the fact that our systems and processes and facilities are reliable to give that best care to our communities.

Robbie Dragovic: Mitch was a crane operator and part of the crane crew for over 30 years. Mitch sadly passed away last year. He's left an awesome reputation in the industry.
[Images: Lisa Davie, Construction Manager, Lendlease and Henry, community member, speak to camera, footage of Henry on the construction site wearing a high-vis vest and hard hat interacting with workers]
Lisa Davie: We picked Henry to be one of the crane names because he's come and visited our site a few times with his carer and he's got a real keen interest in construction sites.

Lisa: Tower cranes go up right at the start of the project. It's sort of symbolising the project coming out of the ground and they stand there as a figure for the whole community to look at. So by naming the cranes, it's our way of engaging with the community, getting people to understand what's going on and really be a part of the journey to bring this project to life.
[Text on screen: a lasting impact]
[Images: Mandy speaks to camera]
Mandy: Incredibly honoured when I learned that it had been members of my team that had done that.
[Images: Robbie speaks to camera, image of Mitch]
Robbie: Mitch was an all-round nice bloke and I'm glad that the team came up collectively together to put his name up there.
[Images: Eddie speaks to camera]
Eddie: In a way, the crane is very similar to what I used to do, always looking and making sure everything fits in their right place.

Lisa: Henry got such engagement with his community. He's even teaching us some of the little facts about some of the plant and equipment we have on-site.

Mandy: New Melton Hospital will mean for patients they don't need to travel for care.
Eddie: It's going to be an all-electric, high-tech building with new equipment, medical services, and it’ll have everything right there.

Lisa: Are you pretty proud?
Henry: Yeah, proud. I'm proud of myself.
Lisa: Yeah. As you should be, definitely.
