Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b

What Riverlea needs most urgently is petrol station -preferably with take away food. A couple of weeks ago I had to go to Two Wells running on empty. Virginia would have been closer I think. 40,000 new residents, I'm sure it wont be long before an X Convenience or OTR pops up. Google Street view is...

[U/C] Re: Victoria Tower - 36 Grote Street | 123m | 35 levels | apartments

I reckon this and the Central Market tower will make a noticeable impact from Port Road.
Should fill the gap partially between the RAA building and Sofitel.

IqKIlLS7ln4 -Sydney is the 2nd least affordable among 94 major cities in the world. Adelaide is in that list too. Graphics with selected cities highlighted doesn't change that fact.

Re: The Housing Crisis

Page 2 includes a long article that includes a quote that housing construction was already slowing. Nobody (in the article or here) has attempted to either challenge or explain that statement. There seems to be plenty of land "released" for housing. Has somebody done an analysis of what i...

Re: News & Developments: Glenelg

The 2018 Masterplan talks about the potential relocation of the tram stop to Colley Tce so they can better utilise Moseley Square. Judging by those concept drawings, that won't be happening. Would be good if they could do a bit of a loop around Glenelg, and bring the tram/add a stop near the marina

Re: The SA Politics Thread

There are a total of 47 representatives in the Lower House. A party needs a majority of 24 seats to govern. There are 5 crossbenchers. Labor already had 27 seats. Very likely to increase that majority to 28 seats, with the Dunstan by election win. Liberals had 15 seats, now down to 14 most likely. ...

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b

Some people on this forum complain about sprawling suburbia on productive farmland. Some complain about excessive commute time/distance. Now we have people wanting to build housing and a new railway line+station on land that is zoned as primary production horticulture. I'm the one who thinks people...

Labor maintains lead in tight Dunstan by-election as count continues More than half of the early and postal votes in Saturday’s Dunstan by-election were for Liberal candidate Anna Finizio, but Labor’s Cressida O’Hanlon maintains the lead as the count continues.

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b

It would be wise to: - Reserve land for a rail corridor - Or, even wiser, halt all further development and rip up the nasty, cheap contract with Walker Corp. Agreed. The issue is that they did not reserve land for a rail corridor, and they are now building on top of all the land that could have bee...

Re: The SA Politics Thread

Who is doing that? There's a dictionary meaning for extreme. I would say that if someone is on the wing of a party that's the furthest, either right or left, then it falls within the meaning of extreme as per the dictionary. Were we to trawl back through posts on this forum, I bet that someone has ...

Riverlea Park doesn't need a "metro"......an ordinary suburban train would be suffice. And Riverlea shouldn't be the terminus either....it should be Two Wells ...marking the contiguous end of the Adelaide suburban sprawl. Plan for it now.....reserving the corridor....making any new develo...

Re: The SA Politics Thread

Saying that someone is probably the extreme right member of federal parliament can also be construed as the furthest right. That's how I read it. ASIO might say that Extreme right is fanatical, but I don't believe we have any fanatics in our federal parliament. It's loaded language, and it influenc...
