I think the Birkenhead Bridge is heritage listed, probably because it was the first bascule bridge in Australia.

Yeah, I think 'safety in numbers' will help this area - hopefully city west gets the same treatment.

Sterling innings chaps... I wonder if the 'National Heritage listing of the parklands would impede naming rights anyway? The MCG is listed and the closest commercial title I could find was the Myer Music Bowl, named for the man not his company.

The southern side of Greenhill Rd could use more 6-8 level buildings, especially between the ETSA Building and Unley Rd.

Tiger Stadium?

From AdelaideNow Work to begin on Glenelg's former Wallis Cinema site "I think it would be good to create more carparks at that end of the street," he said. Glenelg Pet Centre owner Sue Perdikis said the new shops and extra carparking would "help pick up business, especially on the w...

I agree. Remove a few coats of paint and those buildings serve Twin St. better than a bland tall.

One of the retailers this evening mentioned businesses at that level are being pushed to the west-side of the building - unsure if that's for convenience and security or making way for the offices mentioned.

Nice photo aeon - the Franklin St. buildings look great too.

To be honest I don't agree with the Wakefield expansion and think regenerated plots should adhere to (modest) uniform headstones. I still see a lot of potential for the west-side... is there a West Terrace thread?

The residents of Thebarton and St. Peters benifit from having access to the parklands through better lifestyle and higher property values.

Just a few hundred metres can make a difference in some areas and (Buffalo) reviews seem pretty poor. The Buffalo seems better suited to the Beachhouse or Wiggly Worms/Little ...

+1 Ken Rollond supported that move recently (InDaily link somewhere) saying if Melbourne can work with the public liability risk so can we. Sorry to go off tangent more than usual but did anyone see the Buffalo news story tonight? Apparently the owners have spent $400k on upgrades since 2008 but tha...

For me 'tacky' was what made holidays to Glenelg memorable - the old Bay Junction centre, Magic Mountain, a revolving restaurant, Birdman Rally, milk carton regatta, genuine Mexican apartments, red rattlers and HMS Buffalo. By 1990 the kitsch value was as much an experience as the cinema and beach, ...

The SW corner – fondly known locally as the “ Beirut Quarter ” owing to its mix of old worker’s cottages and welfare housing – is singled out in the DPA’s aim to raise the city’s population to 48,000. However, the leafy, well-heeled South East corner – otherwise known as the “ Paris Quarter ” – has...
