Police horses are a waste of resources to being with. It would be better to do away with the mounted unit and buy more police cars.

I don't share your enthusiasm to sit here, but really pleased to see the utility boxes have been removed! Thanks for the update. Haha, I wouldn't quite call it enthusiasm and I admit I've never sat here myself but I do see people there quite often so it must have some level of appeal/convenience. N...

IMO aside from being very exposed, the tiers are not deep or levelled enough to offer decent sight lines, and in any event, view only towards a bunch of utitlity boxes: https://i.imgur.com/ADUxEqg.png I had a look on the way past this morning and it appears the utility boxes have been moved. It mus...

A few from this morning: https://i.imgur.com/4Jw5gQM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IN4iIvg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bxsOAOQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1DGXoY0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OIwAvqI.jpg It seems there might be a couple of irrigation-related issues. Other than that the grassed areas are all in good sh...

To be honest, when I first saw the current configuration I actually thought it was an amphitheatre type outdoor event space... And they actually should turn it into one when they get rid of the ramps... That's what I presumed its intention was too. I do quite often see people sitting on the tiers l...

So yes, they will be getting rid of the ramp in favour of stairs and lift. Sadly, it doesn't look like they're doing anything to the weird grassy tiered area, so the new stairs will still lead down to an unresolved space. I don't mind that bit - I always presumed it was a nod to the old amphitheater.

There are definitely a couple of offices for DIT staff and the cleaners use the small door next to Platform 9 so I presume it's largely station/rail admin. There is a staff entrance for the Intercontinental next to the old phone booths on the other side. I'm not sure if the hotel actually has any st...

A quick snap from the tunnel looking south:

Looks awesome!

Pep Rocca selling off huge slice of former Coke bottling site in Thebarton Pep Rocca’s Curated Capital is offloading a huge slice of the former Coca-Cola bottling site in Thebarton, but is promising to forge ahead with plans for a new $100m biomedical precinct on Port Rd. The Adelaide developer’s B...

Yes I received an email from NRM and they will run red hens from Port Dock station on event days, with regular trains continuing to run, which is a great outcome for the museum. That's cool - I live close to the OH line and have enjoyed seeing the red hens in service when they have run in the past....

Thanks for the pics! I don't get down to Vic Square very often so it's been great to see this one go up. It's looking really good in my opinion.

A joint statement was released by the Vice-Chancellors this morning: This is a significant moment in our shared histories with the passing of state legislation to establish a new Adelaide University. This represents one of the most important steps to date in realising our ambitious vision for a cont...

Might even be that something they are doing isn't within the WHS requirements and obviously wouldn't want that documented.
Doing things outside of WHS and what they are allowed to do isn't exactly uncommon with demolition companies.

Exactly what I was thinking too...

I guess it's about context too - taking a video from across the street is a bit different to being pushed up against the fencing taking close-up shots. I can't see any problem with the latter, the former I probably wouldn't do - despite being legal.
