The amount of right turns allowed on Adelaides main roads is a real problem. Could not agree more. Having lived in both Adelaide and Sydney, it is generally easier driving on arterial roads there (peak times excepted) because right turns into side streets are usually restricted to local collector r...

I can't help but think that the new southern stand being constructed is the type of grandstand which should have been built in the 1990's when the Bradman stand was built. Honestly the Bradman stand was way too small. They only had a tiny budget for the stand and the state was still paying off the ...

Haven't seen it yet, but great feedback from those who have. Goes to show that it's possible to substantial improve the appearance of a laneway without spending a small fortune. And it went up so quick so minimal construction impact on laneway tenants. A great model for future laneways in Adelaide, ...

Ok yes I get it. Looks like the short boxes are here to stay. :( Just a shame our prominant corners do not have something more imaginative in store. Also for the record, I think the new BHP building in Perth is overbearing, and completely dominates the skyline from Kings Park, and also blocks the c...

Large floor plates are a trend nationally (and I dare say internationally). Look at the floor plates in recent large developments intgerstate, they are typically > 1500sqm. BHP Tower in Perth, for example, has 71,000sqm over 47 floors. I worked in a newly-constructed office building in Sydney a coup...

Great news. It's this type of research centre along with SAHMRI which could spawn a new industry in SA of advanced manufacturing for high-value medical technologies and products, something that cannot be easily shifted to China due to the advanced manufacturing techniques and skills required. It als...

Aldi stores are just a normal supermarket size, it's not like they are like Costco

Drove past this site today, demolition debris appears to be gone .... shouldn't be too long before foundations are prepared. I suspect this will the site of our next CBD crane?

Thoughts anyone?

Avenue planting of palm trees may look impressive, but they are pretty useless in terms of shade, which is critical in a pedestrian precinct in summer. Those maple trees sound great, one of the differentors of Rundle Mall from the suburban shopping malls is that it has a different character dependin...

Surely they wouldn't spend that much money and not add more entertainment? In my opinion, I wouldn't expect anymore entertainment facilities than has already been stated. Similar casino redevelopments in Australia such as Crown Perth ($500M+) and Star City in Sydney ($800M+) both feature luxury hot...

I would rather see water features such as a Bellagio-style fountain on the Torrens itself (night-lit of course) which would draw people to the riverfront, and provide an attraction to stimulate outdoor dining and vibe. I don't think the current masterplan proposal of a mist fountain is enough of an ...

Were water features decided to be added in the final plan? That is something which is highly impressive in my eyes and not present in Adelaide. They are not even close to a final plan yet, all Skycity have done is release concept drawings. Given that they have reached regulatory agreement with the ...

Who'd have thought that 4 storey apartments would be built in Woodville??

The entertainment options are interesting. What kinds of businesses would you suggest we try to attract to the area? (Remember that a reimagined Regent Cinema is already on the cards.) Anything that is fun! Similar to the sort of attractions found in Surfers Paradise in Cavill Mall. What do they ha...

Claybro, the Government has NO plan to upgrade South Road to full freeway standard, and certainly has NO plan to buy up ALL the properties on one side of the road. So when comparing what you're suggesting with alternatives, the fact that the alternatives aren't what the current government is planni...
