[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. The...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

Stages 1A and 1B are the "boring" bits of the project for me. But at 400MW, the nameplate capacity is already 1/3 larger than the current largest wind farm! I'm more excited for the next stages and champing at the bit for that 900MW/1800MWh battery. Absolute game changer. 1A and 1B are fa...

This looks like it will be built where the existing bus interchange is? Have they said where this will be moved to?

Stage 2 is 600MW wind and 600MW solar. But the game changer is a battery delivering 900MWh for 2 hours at a time. Say whatever ...

All well and good. But like many ponds put in estates they soon get neglected.
More likely to be a glorified stormwater detention basin rather than a proper landscaped pond.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Am I missing something here? How in the hell is this costing $35m? I can only imagine... The need to use small equipment because larger machines don't fit past the trees, and the need to prop up an operating tramway while removing the structural integrity provided by the arches? The tramway will be...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Landlord special is about right. Absolutely ludicrous decision.

How many trees are being removed (or have already been removed) for the North-South Corridor? Removing trees for roads is fine, but for active transport and improved accessibility to public transport, it's not okay?

Piling here will be starting soon-ish. Not sure on exact timelines but expect this to ramp up in the near future.
My source who told me this in September yesterday told me that works here were 'months away'.

Might be time to get a better source for this project..

[PRO] Re: Westfield Marion (2019/20 Extension)

They've been carrying out enabling works for the past few years. Strengthening columns and the like everytime a Mini-Major becomes empty. They're starting this in the former Bowland space soon.

This will enable the existing carpark structure to support the weight of the new build above.
