[PRO] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 2 | 149m | 38 Levels | Office
I once suggested on here that the whole riverside precinct needed to be knocked down with the exception of parliament (old & new) and the railway/casino building, and started from scratch. Now that what was an underused & unmaintained eyesore for public space is being redeveloped into a sec...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
Three times a week Adelaide to the other side of the planet? We've barely scratched the surface with direct flights to the Asian continent. Airport statistics say there was around 45,000 direct and indirect movements to and from LAX before the pandemic. If United were to do thrice weekly that's 3 x...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
Today Singapore Airlines celebrates 40 years of flying to Adelaide. Their first flight was back on 31 March 1984 with a Boeing 747 Jumbo. Here's another 40 + years to SIA, a great partner to Adelaide Airport and SA. Happy Easter. Cheers SIA have been great to Adelaide. Not sure how, but wish the st...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Isn't the rail lease holder supposed to maintain the line in working condition? If so, it shouldn't be an issue to run a special service. That was how the deal was presented at the time, to reduce backlash from giving up the line, but it's well known that there has been no enforcement of that condi...

[PRO] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 2 | 149m | 38 Levels | Office
Rewind 15 years and the site where this building and Building 1 stand was public space. It seems to ask why is public space being given up to a developer to build an office tower. Could the tower not be built on the site of the Riverside Centre? Or between the Intercontinental and North Terrace. Th...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
I don't understand why there can't be an irregular service during peak tourism periods running to the Barossa?
or why doesn't The Ghan or the Indian Pacific run through there?

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Incl. 115m Tower | $800 million
It's also interesting to hear the media say 'one of the tallest' and not the 'tallest'. Possibly this originates in the government press release. I can see why they would want to avoid bandying about the fact that this will be the tallest, given how controversial the tower already is. Re the commen...

I was against a second walker tower here but now that I have seen this beauty, I take it back! This will completely transform the look of our skyline and in the most prominent of positions. Its a mini and refreshed Rialto. https://i.ibb.co/tzCLz4s/5ff662f39b17680f7d7d2d35f2604070.jpg https://i.ibb....

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Before building tram depots, how about they decide where, if at all, any more tram lines will run?

[PRO] Re: Masonic Lodge | 183m | 37 Levels | Mixed Use
thanks, you raise a good point. I will have to check if the colour of the building will be that light. I suspect not, it's probably about the same as it is now and the bronze would fit better. Hey Mic! Hows the progress going on the tower, are we getting approval from PlanSA soon? ( To any snowflak...

Re: AFL Gather Round
while Port Adelaide are only getting about 25k to its home games That’s simply not true It's not. More importantly I don't see the correlation between crowd figures of existing clubs and a potential third club being setup in Adelaide or Perth. Rival fans generally don't attend each others home game...
