To be honest, I cannot see a business case for urban rail to Virginia and Riverlea ever stacking up, despite being quite a large potential catchment area (40,000+ people). It would be an extension of about 16-17km which you would need to double-track to join it to the existing Gawler line. This is ...

image_2024-04-20_092515879.png This is where they need to be backing high rise residential developments. Look how much potential there is here..how many thousands of new residents could be accommodated if all the low-rise areas had high rise apartment buildings. This mindless push of highrise in th...

no no, I wasn't mentioning politics. Adelaide Airport's director just specifically said he wants China Southern and Cathay back before any new routes. So we have to wait for the Chinese to come back before we let in United Airlines. I'm frustrated because United look eager to get into the Adelaide ...

Can the mods actually deal with this stupid off topic political crap that is 1000% not needed in this thread, before the two usual culprits spiral out of control?

2KW has not been "done over". There is no alternative rooftop bar being proposed that would hinder his business. The views are still there. They do not have exclusive rights to unobstructed views.

Hardly a surprise. We had a government that gave China the finger, then sucked up to the US. It's hardly unreasonable for the Chinese to say: Ok, get US tourists then. In no way should we get bogged down in the politics of China vs the US. However, having made a decision to take sides, why expect C...

This is definitely not sensational. If anything, it needs to be set back further and retain the existing space for a live music venue. http://wp.indaily.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/1200x800_borg-cube-over-cranker.jpg?resize=1313,876&quality=90 It's a pretty low quality image, not sure wha...

On the flipside, other than tourism the South Island of NZ has bugger all industry (unless you count sheep farming), and their GDP per capita is significantly below Australia's. Granted the scenery in that part of NZ is beautiful, but there's a finite number of tourists that can be accommodated for...

Can guarantee this won’t happen before we get China southern and Cathay back. It’s frustrating because those two are going to take a while to come back, and United are interested NOW, not in 5 years time, now. Bloody hell wish we didn’t have to wait on the Chinese all the time. Hardly a surprise. W...

Absolute missed opportunity to build a new school to help cope with demand in the area. A school would be better at the Islington rail yard site across the road if they ever move them on from there. It's far larger and has more room for ovals/grass fields and such. The ridiculous thing is so many s...

Oh please, block out the views? Get a grip Here's the view.. image_2024-04-17_194213507.png What would it block out? Part of the western side of Adelaide Oval? A bit of the plaza/festival centre? Some trees in the distance? What a great loss. Maybe we should level everything to the west along North ...

See your own post from 2019. https://sensational-adelaide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=183833#p183833 My post clearly says they overlooked Adelaide. Yes. You also said "Labor gov. were in talks with them". There's a difference between what I said, and what Vinny said. Just because the govern...

Yes, before the pandemic United were actually assessing Adelaide Oh. First I heard of this (not an airline aficionado by any stretch). Did a google search but couldn't find anything, got a link? Would be interesting to get an idea of what they are thinking as the airport were talking about flights ...

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 52 = 156 flights per annum, therefore 45,000 passengers ÷ 156 flights ≈ approx. 288 passengers per flight (filling the 280-seat capacity of...
