Yep, serious. Apparently before the application they were quite confident that the council will just be a formality, which is a sign they're not really familiar with this council.

Heh, nice one.

Apparently the Intercontinental wanted to put up a neon sign, assumed they would get approval for it and bought the sign before applying. They didn't, with little surprise.

wut

I hear those things are awfully loud

The Spectacular has nothing to do with the upgrade to TTP. Everything the council can do has been done, including extending the approval of the expansion. It's up to Westfield to pony up the cash.

Where did you hear this?

Yeah, I can't work out what exactly I'm looking at in that render. Also: limited to under 12s? Balls.

No Surprise - nail in the coffin for UC? Yep. Currently only two hotels in Adelaide - the Rendezvous Hotel on Waymouth St, and the Sebel Playford on North Tce - have a five-star rating and tourism leaders have called for more luxury accommodation to lure people to the state.

I'm going to work.

Oh please. There are enough pubs without pokies to show that it's a viable business plan.

So I take it you've swapped brands, from Dare to Devondale?
