Not about the Seppeltsfield proposal, but the hotel proposal in Tanunda.

Very much an unsolicited vision, but Architectus have done a concept for Thebarton (brewery site, but also extending to South Rd along the river, and down Port Rd to the Coke factory) as part of their Design Charrette. https://architectus.com.au/latest/charrette-15-designers-aim-to-redefine-and-rewi...

No, corner of Gibson and Third St (where V2 Fit currently are). Looks really good! Nice podium with the double level F&B tenancies, and will have views diagonally over Bowden Park. Only thing I'm not sure about is the parking stacker — maintenance on those can be a real drain on the strata budget.

Is there expected to be a new timetable in place soon now that all services are electric along the Gawler line? Yes, once all the active crossings have been turned on, because trains still have to crawl through those at 25km/h. Apparently this will be done by the end of the year. I really don't kno...

Office or residential would be a waste of that location. A cultural use would be ideal, something that attracts a lot of foot traffic and can connect Rundle Mall with Rundle St. Concert Hall is good, or even an alternate plan for Adelaide Contemporary?

They did spend a lot of time and money to get this proposal approved and in the process changed the flight path and height limits. People don’t go to that effort for shits and giggles. I would say it came down to economics and the fact the developer is Chinese and they are having a tough time in th...

20 per cent affordable housing is too low a dividend for this level of state investment. We need 30-50 per cent. Also I'm probably alone, but they've mentioned keeping the Torrens xmas garden as is, whereas I'd rather hoped they'd reimagine the whole interface of the river with the precinct. I agre...

Only in Adelaide. As a city in desperate need for a major increase in available affordable housing we get decisions based on shadowing! We are a national joke.

And the shadowing isn't even that much of an issue. The main building scales down quite dramatically at the rear.

Unley councillor says they're not a NIMBY community, and then rattles off a bingo sheet of NIMBY arguments.

Vale Dominator.

It's almost like building housing estates from scratch is not economically viable at the moment...

Which puts further validity into RenewalSA "suddenly" stepping in on the West End site.

Was thinking the same about a tram depot. I think RenewalSA masterplanning it in a similar manner to Bowden is the way to go. Under that model, individual lots go out to private developers, so they still get in on the action, but falling under the desires of the plan. My only concern is RenewalSA's ...

Taxpayers set to spend $70m as state government swoops on prime West End brewery site South Australian taxpayers will likely shell out at least $70m for a late swoop on one of Adelaide’s premier pieces of land for housing in a move that has sparked a backlash from developers. The state government’s...

Had a thought whist at my boy's swimming lessons today — what if they kept the roof? The current aquatic centre is unique in that because of the way it was built, the roof is actually completely seperate from the rest of the facility. They could remove all the pools, the ancillary buildings, stands,...
