Re: Crane Counter: CBD 8 | Metro 8 | Total 16
Rode past 301 Pirie St this morning and Built Environ's yellow crane was onsite (disassembled). Do we know what (if anything) is happening on that site? Thanks

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
Having been intimately involved in the planning, consultation and design of this project, it is a little disappointing that it's been formally dropped (again). Some of the key benefits of this project have also been ignored - in particular DDA access to platforms. Much of the cost of the project (an...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands
Is that the soccer pitch that's fairly close to the rail line, down near Sir Donald Bradman? If so, it's not really the part of the parklands where members of the public are likely to venture. It's locked between rail corridor, a main road and other ovals. There is no residential or commercial nearb...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Doing the transport planning after the development has been planned is like adding the egg whites to the pavlova after it's come out of the oven. These days, transport is as critical to urban development as water/sewer/power/comms. You wouldn't wait until 10,000 people moved in before making provisi...

Regardless of who is at fault here, it's sad to see all the infighting that is likely distracting councilors from their primary objectives.

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Also, one of Adelaide's critical gravity sewer mains runs down Regency Rd, with minimal grade (pretty much flat) and therefore minimal scope to realign. Not the only reason of course, but a contributor.

Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments
I noticed a couple of developments in construction on King William St Kent Town this morning. One on northern side (hills end) is almost complete (3-4 storey building) and one on southern side just starting (city end). Also, the townhouses in Rundle / Little Grenfell coming along nicely. Kent Town r...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Re the need to upgrade rail network...about the same number of people use Adelaide's current rail network per day as those driving on South Rd, but I am fairly sure more has been spent on upgrading South Rd over past decade (and prob will be into the future). Not that I want to start a debate on rai...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
Overkill to ensure the contractor's works are functional before accepting them? Sounds like basic contract management. As English Electric mentioned earlier, they need to get things right before accepting the works and opening to the public. Imagine the backlash had the department accepted the works...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
Coming from someone who lives close to the proposed terminus of the Norwood tramline - please please please bring it on! My wife and I attended a planning meeting a year or two ago that related to the potential for a Norwood tram, and we were the youngest there by far (we're in our mid 30s). Average...

Re: Rename a suburb
I completely agree with smaller suburbs promoting identity and local community, and have been thinking where it could have the biggest impact. What do people think about splitting the suburb of Adelaide into multiple suburbs? At the moment it is a vast suburb of many different pockets with different...

This one progressing nicely. Onto second level works this week. Site huts also onsite at nearby Nuova apartment site (near water tower) and some geotechnical testing at peregrines hq last week. This area is going to be very busy with construction works in the near future! Can’t wait to see that end ...

Re: News & Discussion: Cycling Infrastructure
Looks like new bike lanes are being installed on Frome St between Pirie and Grenfell. Outside Ideas are the contractor.
