[VIS] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital

And in another hundred years they will be fighting to save this heritage hospital to commemorate all the lives of women and children saved there. Move on.

[VIS] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital

Why are people complaining about the location? So what it’s a heritage site. Does anyone really go there ? Parklands will go well big deal… how much “parklands” do we really need? It’s a waste of space snd prime location for development. Same things should be happening by south terrace parklands. I...

Re: Commonwealth Games in Adelaide

This is not the infrastructure SA needs. We must to get our mining boom off the ground first, not to spend $1 Billion in sporting facilities. Our priority should be port upgrades, rail links, a power interconnector from Roxby to Queensland, schools, hospitals, regional development, weirs and lochs,...

[COM] Re: Memorial Drive upgrade

Another famous full price half measure from the state Liberals, the multipurpose court stadium should absolutely be built where the centre courts are now, no need to do anything to the indoor cricket centre because it'd fit just fine - the current Memorial Drive 'stadium' is no longer fit for purpo...

Re: The Federal Politics Thread

Of course it would have happened regardless of even if the Greens were in power. Our government can't control external factors like what's happening in China with their economic/building boom or slow down. I think the main point of difference though is that the Howard government paid down debt, and...

The Federal Politics Thread

We managed to avoid the big hits of the GFC because of the previous Howard government had left the countries finances in a strong position. Low debt, budget surpluses and strong economic growth. The RBA governor even commented on how strongly the economy was doing not long before the GFC. Rudd took...

[U/C] Re: Former LeCornu Redevelopment | Mixed Use

I'm almost inclined to say the ACC should purchase the site and turn it in to a permanent green space/ public square. Only problem is, it would then be landscaped with dead native grass, a few scraggly eucalypts, and some awful indigenous interpretative paving. It would become another space for hom...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Redevelopment | $800 million

Yes just the carpark for now & yes I agree it’s going to be slow. They still have to dig out the whole 5 levels underground plus winter/rain to come.. see article below. One of the largest earthworks contracts in South Australia’s construction history has been awarded as a key Riverbank project...

[U/C] Re: North-South Motorway

The walls on the T2T section are secant pile walls (these are structural) covered with pre-cast panels (non-structural). The Darlington section looks like they've tried to go for unreinforced shotcrete and relying on gravity for it to stay in place (ummm, what?!). So they've made a mistake..? or so...
