Also the Charles Sturt council has just spent tens of millions on new stormwater, car parking, lighting & landscaping etc down the centre of Port Rd. There’s no way they are going to want or allow this to just get ripped up. Raised rail tram. Pros: 1. Extra expensive, so can have lots of money ...

As Adelaide grows they will be used - think long-term. Many significant trees in that area as well as community ovals etc. used by schools. Not every piece of parklands has to be the riverbank. The emptiness and quietness of significant green spaces in and around the city are awesome in themselves,...

Yup, I would suggest the reason that the sorting was happening in China was probably because it is hard to automate and requires a lot of manpower, much more economical with lower wages. One potential solution could be moving towards increased sorting on the household end, some countries have multip...

Tenants I think might work here:

Hudson's Coffee
Bakery On O'Connell
Fasta Pasta

They already have a bakery in the center, I can't see them adding a second.

Meanwhile, all the existing water features have been turned off since Autumn last year; and loose and broken pavers are everywhere (or just completely missing). When walking around that area yesterday it was very disappointing. There's no reason those water features shouldn't be running. The bridge...

The Adelaide City Council, in their illogical rush to do away with 'turn left with care', has eliminated 2 more at the corner of West Tce and Currie St. Now everyone has to wait at the traffic lights. Blame the drivers who ignored the "with care" part of the instructions for using them.

Legislate.

That’s a great way to create a competitive efficient economy. Not.

You're really gonna freak out when you find out how the entire state economy was initially built.

As people from the council areas of Prospect, Walkerville & Charles Sturt seem to be the most vocal about keeping the Aquatic Centre as is, maybe their councils should contribute to the ongoing running costs? Or ACC could charge double the entry price to cover the current losses? For the politi...

I too agree, the white helps to define the horizontal lines somewhat more. I think it is a huge improvement.

It definitely is, adds contrast that makes the glass look darker.

I think the white paint is an afterthought and makes it look cheap Sent from my SM-J730G using Tapatalk Check the first page of this thread, those elements are white in the render of the building. At the time I think most of us would have assumed it was going to be some clean white concrete, but lo...

It's mighty optimistic of him to be touting the shipbuilding work when the lasting legacy of him quitting when it looked like the Coalition were going to lose government might be SA losing a lot of that work to WA.

With this first part deviating so much from those renders I'm not looking forward to seeing the rest.

Those trees...

That's not a problem with the trees, that's a silly protectionist.

Am I the only one that doesn't particularly like the idea of turning 500m on each side of our main boulevard into the city into an ode to (spectator) sport, filled with stadiums? Also, is the church at Hindmarsh that much of an impediment? We've lost things of far greater heritage value, for far le...
