I know this would have been politically unviable, but imagine if they would pedestrianise the ring of roads around Victoria Square. Victoria Square is my 2nd favourite square after Moseley Square in Glenelg, mostly because Moseley Square doesn't have a road wrapped around it. It's 100% continuous p...

I remember reading about Aldi applying to build in the precinct. Anyone know where the actual location will be? Also anyone know if and who they have selected as a hotel operator? Not sure about Aldi, Harbour Town would be the obvious choice but I can't see two supermarkets making a decent trade th...

Not sure if a new application entirely or they are applying for stage 1 (demolition). Type: Schedule 10 Application Number: S10/2/2014 Lodgement Date: 30/01/2014 Latest Decision: Planning Consent Granted Location: 104 Currie Street, ADELAIDE SA 5000 Description: Demolition of existing buildings and...

I don't want to see this area look glamorous, however I certainly think they could be better utilising the space they have and in turn providing some minor upgrades so that it doesn't look so much like a run-down hospital cafeteria. First and foremost as it's already been mentioned on here, I think ...

As I've said before. I'd prefer to see SkyCity build a casino within the the Sir Samuel Way building and expand onto the Hilton Hotel site. The Coles building behind these sites could be bulldozed and an laneway added to act as a buffer between the Central Market and Sir Samual Way building and Hilt...

Great to hear Currie/Grenfell are listed for an upgrade, however Grenfell street should have an underground bus station similar to the one in Brisbane, and the soon to be completed Wellington Street in Perth. Buses are noisy, smelly and cause congestion even amongst themselves. Lines of commuters w...

C'mon man, it's Adelaide.. When has anyone ever complained about the fact that something is overpriced in this city? Excluding the people on this forum, of-course; we're about the only honest people I know of.

I actually like the spaciousness but I'll agree the the canopy is not very successful. My other slight concern is that the permanent fixtures that were removed have essentially been replaced by semi permanent fixtures of lesser quality. For example, the cafe near the Richmond Hotel. I personally th...

I went for a bit of a drive yesterday to have a look at the site. Will it be parking underneath and warehouse on top? I was expecting to see a half completed warehouse. Seems like it is progressing rather slowly. Looking North East 20160214_101648.jpg Looking South East 20160214_101704.jpg Looking ...

Three apartments had lights on tonight, from ground level it looked like all the interiors walls have been installed and other interior installation were taking shape. I'd say in the month ahead we'll see the crane come down, the footpath returned and the lower level apartments being moved into. Any...

Gee, you get around EBG.

Well, that was a quick apartment boom!

I don't necessarily like the guy, but John Rau seems to talk a lot of sense and in doing so gets shit done. He's announced (as the new City of Adelaide Minister) that he'd like to oversee the completion of the Victoria Square upgrade, in particular realigning the roads around the square as was outl...

Because it'd be an (unnecessary) isolated PT system, similar to how our tram network is at the present time.
