9 news reporting that the the 500 is done for good.
I’d be fine with the news if this government actually entertained the push for Formula E, but that doesn’t look to be happening either.

Worth revisiting the funding issue regarding this tower. The state government for some inexplicable reason, offered favourable loan arrangements to get this over the line. The project is not yet completed and we are in the midst of a global crisis that will have a lasting impact on international tr...

Re: [PRO] St Peters Cathedral [$100 million]
This is a very vague proposal as it stands, I am not sure we need yet another plaza when another is currently under construction 500m down the road and in a much more prominent location at the Festival Centre. Something that the cathedral has needed for years, would be a relatively cheap and quick w...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
We're talking about QANTAS here. They are very shrewd. If they haven't had a reason for direct international flights in the past I doubt they will introduce them anytime soon. Singapore was the only destination (and not even direct), and that was dropped years ago. New Zealand (Auckland or Christch...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
Frankly I think it is disgusting that Qantas doesn't fly international out of Adelaide and far less likely to do so now given current goings on. But what would be the use of having Qantas fly ADL-SIN (aside from making better use of QFF and Qantas Club)? Especially if it means a stop in either Perth...

I was curious from Norman's pic whether the crane has reached the full height of the tower - looks like it may be at or around the height of the final building height now

Re: SA Economy
It isn't WA, Queensland or Tasmania consistently creating companies like Drakes or Coopers it is SA. Not sure if sarcastic? WA has national HQs for Wesfarmers, Seven West, Woodside and QLD Suncorp, BOQ, Virgin Aus etc. But sure, we have Drakes, Coopers and Shahin. I am not saying we don't have some...

I could see it coming down HBR last night. Looks ok, but I was hoping they would light up the 'crown' section in gold since it is quite prominent and would have made more sense in context with the design.

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Redevelopment | $800 million
While the tower itself is inoffensive it is obviously not befitting of the site. A bit of curvature would have been nice to give it a point of difference and continuity with the new casino. But at least it will block out the ugliness that has become of 1KWS and Stamford.

It appears it is now 47 homes/businesses and not 20 which will be demolished for this 'upgrade'.

[VIS] Re: A new inner-city stadium is one of a raft of big ticket projects on the government's agenda this year.
Typical uninspired idea from the Marshall government in a panic attempt to create a legacy which doesn't include the decimation of our events calendar, unpopular privatization of our railways and skyrocketing unemployment. Personally I hope this goes the way of 'GlobeLink' because even if it were fe...

I’m not usually critical of other opinions on this forum but as someone who has been to the AO at Melbourne Park twice in the past 3 years and two night sessions at the Adelaide International so far this year I have to question whether the posters above have actually a) watched any lower level ATP t...
