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

Well, I can't stop you all from guessing. :lol: Just don't expect me to confirm or deny anything until it's public knowledge - I really like my job. Business/law/government also has the advantage that it would need facilities more similar to a standard office building than any other discipline, and ...

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

Flinders Uni employee here, who's scheduled to move to the city. :) Those who guessed a major expansion of the city presence are correct - the majority of one of the 6 colleges will be moving there. Not saying which one until it's publicly confirmed (I like my job). The train line was a BIG drawcard...

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

The Victoria Square building was due to be demolished in a couple of years, about the time Festival Plaza is meant to open (at least that was the case pre-covid). The old Reserve Bank building? Fair bit of heritage value to it, can't see that getting demolished without a big fight. I was surprised ...

Well if that is true then it's very unfortunate. Another Govt. agency having to anchor a building just to get it off the ground. You make it sound like they are being forced. :D Services Australia has tenancies in several buildings in/around the CBD, from the days when orgs like Medicare were separ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Buses

It appears the Urrbrae campuses of Uni SA and Tafe have been disregarded. The service that was going down Waite Rd looks to be discontinued and the closest bus to the City is more than 1km away at The Tollgate or Fullarton Rd. I'd think it's a mistake to drop that service. Interesting that they neg...

[COM] Re: Flinders Rail Link

The university owns the land around the station, but the multilevel car park is controlled by the hospital. Building the new Flinders Village took Governmental approval, so the opportunity to move the bus interchange was there for the Govt to take. Maybe it's not a bad thing though - the main entran...

Long time lurker first time poster here. Heard today that Coles at Arndale will be closing in early February. Perhaps something to do with the previously mentioned Stage 5 redevelopment??

[COM] Re: SAHMRI Stage 2

Smithy85 wrote:$44m in next week's State budget for this according to the Tiser.
I'm not sure if it is recorded on this forum anywhere, but the SA Govt contribution is the cost of moving the rail control centre that is currently on that land. At least, that was the plan when SAHMRI 2 was first proposed.

Re: U/C: Electrification & Upgrade of the Adelaide Rail Netw

With the Tonsley rail extension, are they going to put a level crossing across Sturt Rd? Or will there be an overpass/underpass? Didn't the government say they were trying to get rid of level crossings? They're building an overpass. http://www.premier.sa.gov.au/stephen-mullighan-news-releases/524-g...

[COM] Re: SAHMRI Stage 2

This project needs a lot of extra funding to be viable. The original planned cost was for $280 million - Feds will kick in $68m, and SA Gov was going to kick in $40m. Flinders was originally going to kick in $60m. That's a pretty big shortfall...
