I feel like Renewal SA got lazy with the delivery and loaded it with townhouses to speed it up. That was absolutely it. There were a few years where they really struggled to sell apartments (the failure of The Standard, and how long it took to sell 354), so they switched to 3 bedroom townhouses and...

I appreciate the comments! I don't believe Barbara is still with Renewal SA, but I agree that she was really great for the community engagement. It's a shame that the reference group was disbanded and it was funny when talking with Renewal SA recently they were *shocked* when we said we feel that t...

https://indaily.com.au/news/2023/03/29/rally-planned-as-tide-turns-on-new-henley-beach-sand/ Should be as simple as removing them. Let the natural flow of the sand and tides restore the beaches naturally. This just seems to be a problem that's getting worse as the years go by. Glenelg, West Beach, ...

This one is directly opposite the park and is the most important remaining site due to both size and location. Here you can see the prominence of the site https://www.sentinelcorp.com/blog/2023/03/28/sentinel-to-deliver-south-australias-first-institutional-build-to-rent-community/. Once this has a ...

We're in an urgent rush now to build infrastructure because our governments have had a policy of mass migration with record numbers for the better part of this century so far. We reached near record numbers in the last financial year. While on top of that largely neglecting our infrastructure parti...

Now this is the sort of intersection upgrade I can get behind on! Doglegs should be the focus to improve traffic flow. Not silly ones like the SDBD/Marion Road and Magill/Portrush Road ones which are an absolute waste of money. I don't read all the posts on this forum but just happened to come acro...

I 100% agree that the year round usage and amenity of the southern bank should be considered and is much more important than some lights for 5 weeks of the year. Why can't the riverbank there be improved and the Christmas lights display still be put on? Why must it be one or the other? Why not impr...

Forget about a tram down the parade. After years of debate the residents voted to keep the gum trees instead,(even though these trees have heaved up the inner lanes on both sides of the parade). Picture of crane 16/9/2023. The residents didn't vote against the tram. The tram was hardly the determin...

Unfortunately I don't have high hopes for this one. If Park Royal at Kent Town can't get off the ground, which I argue is probably the prime site of all inner city parklands adjacent sites closest to the city - what hope is there that this one will? You're right. There's a good chance it's just a p...

This site is really becoming a problem spot. Smashed windows, graffitti, visible collapsing interior, filth everywhere. And all on one of the most prominent corners in Adelaide. The council needs to do more to stop sites like this going to the dogs. Personally, I think rates should increase over tim...

The contract on this site fell through and it’s back on the market again :? This site just keeps hanging around like a festering sore :lol: The advantage is that because site works had substantially progressed, you'd think the potential buyers are more likely to be those who actually plan to do som...

The landscaping treatment out the front is looking a bit tragic. It doesn't yet look like the pavers or rows of trees out the front of the RAH & SAHMRI will be continued along here, unless the bitumen is temporary, but there was already a temporary concrete surface which got dug up and replaced...

I wonder if Singapore Airlines would consider a multi-brand strategy at some point by introducing Scoot into Adelaide. They already do this to Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. Scoot is based on a low cost airline model, they initially took on some of the older Singapore 777's but now have a fleet of 78...

Update 2/9/2023. I think the crane may have gained height? pouring concrete for level 2 floor. (Note there is a mezzanine floor in rear part of the building).

Glacial progress on this one.

Balenciaga in Adelaide? Ok! If stores like this are there we really need a strong transport corridor to this mall. Cars alone will not suffice. Shame that won’t happen for another ten years at this rate. If we’re lucky Public transport in Adelaide is often seen as "lower class" - would th...
