Project manager Michael Forgie said he was pleased with the progress made on the site formerly known as Hospital Hill.
The rain last week would not delay the overall project, but crews ready to begin planting out the retaining wall on site had experienced the project’s first weather-related delays.
"We’ve been pretty lucky," Mr Forgie said.
"It doesn’t affect us, the overall work programme, but yeah, they’ve got some bark quantity to get in here and they can’t get across the clay, just because obviously it’s been a bit puggy from the rain."
Everything on site was on schedule.
The 1000sqm apartment building would be the first to be finished, scheduled for early next year.
The exterior was already "close to finished" and interior lining was continuing.
The roofing was almost complete on the 1700sqm, 41-bed care facility, and 1000sqm community wings.
Crews were running some services up the Stoke St extension inside the construction boundary.
Work on the villas above the main complex would begin early next year and three were expected to be finished by the end of July.
