Not sure what the little buildings are. The larger one seems to have too much glass to be a toilet.

Aussies love Bunnings

Do we though? Not much left for alternatives.

Of course Kieran Snape was one of the greenies to vote against it. His position was that a fence was ok, if it was retractable or removable (but also shouldn't be ugly). Not sure where he thought the money to build a retractable fence for a full size soccer pitch was going to come from (never mind ...

Veronica Maine and Cue have closed now in Adelaide Central Plaza after moving to Rundle Street. ACP would have been an ideal spot for a two level Zara fronting the mall and would fix the issue with the ever vacant second floor. Commonwealth Bank will also close on 1st March. And following on from t...

Same mentality kept the level crossing in Croydon too.

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 near...

Uniqlo Marion "opening Autumn" confirmed on their FB. Good result for Adelaide to have two stores now, the city store is always busy anytime I'm there, and I hope do well at Marion. Based on the popularity of their Rundle Mall store, hopefully the Marion footprint is larger. Yeah, the Run...

I take your point, and hate to make assumptions so apologies if I'm wide of the mark, but I'm guessing when living in an apartment you were young and / or didn't have a young family - and many apartment builds will continue to cater for that market. My point was that if we are to entice families aw...

Therein lies the problem of apartments in Australia... they are perceived as being sub-par as compared to landed houses. And maybe that is at least partially justified with some of the quality issues seen interstate, which has seen entire buildings deemed unlivable. Agree the offering overseas is s...

What's with the big FLINDERS letters that aren't in anything close to their fairly recent rebranding?

Finally! It does need to be more than higher density residential though, they need to plan for retail, services, and other mixed used within the area surrounding the station. You need replace those trips (or stops on the way while commuting) with places accessible by walking between the station and ...

It won’t be retail. In the discussions I’ve had with Renewal SA, they’ve pretty much said retail is unviable without the daytime foot traffic commercial offices would bring. Essentially this building needed to come first.

Hearing that the 6 Park Tce office development has been scrapped, citing high office vacancy in the CBD (never mind that that high vacancy is almost all low quality space that it wouldn't actually be competing with, but whatever). Will be interesting to see what Renewal SA say about it, considering ...

They lost me at "trackless trams". It's a bus.
