Re: Provisions for a subway?

Thanks. That explains a lot, but the gap seems rather narrow. Is there really enough space for two tracks side by side on a curve to North Terrace? If the previsions requirement is true, I assume most of the space has been made in planning of the foundations allowing for space underground. However,...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn

I struggle to see how there will be 'no' disruptions to the Adelaide Fringe if construction isn't even nearing completion... The middle of Rymill Park is a mess and the eastern edge of Rundle Park is a mess. Sure, they could close Rundle Street to compensate in terms of space but that would see hun...

Re: Elizabeth/Salisbury | Developments & News

Just caught a news break saying that the Elizabeth development has started construction.
I can't find any online articles about it though.

Same for Parafield. Just up the road at modbury is Jb hifi, anaconda, another bunnings, chemist warehouse and spotlight. There are three Chemist Warehouses in Modbury now. Pelican Plaza ( technically not Modbury, but close enough ) Tea Tree Plaza Modbury Triangle I saw a sign saying one of the stor...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn

Sensible and something I agree with, but is it necessary? It's literally less than a minute's walk from the interchange to the entrance of TTP. Considering I was quoted in that article without asking if they could quote me.. People seem to be focusing on distance, and rain. My suggestion had nothin...

[U/C] Re: ONH: Tea Tree Plaza Upgrade | $190m

Channel 7 news had a funny joke.. They said that Westfield TTP upgrade is going ahead. No details on what is planned, but they are aiming at getting high end retailers. The funny part is that construction is "planned to start in the next two years". Considering the previous upgrade plans a...

Re: Infill Developments | Metropolitan Adelaide

I am looking for land, and I was quite surprised to find that parts of Redwood Park, Ridgehaven and most of Banksia park, have no sewage. They are on septic tanks. Does anyone know how this occurred that a suburb ended up on septic tanks? I also wonder what this means for the long term redevelopment...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn

wasn't a station planned for grand junction road originally? I heard that. But I also heard there were plans for something higher up around Trellios Street Modbury. That whole area is newer than the surrounding houses. It was owned by the government. They held onto it for some time before selling i...

Re: Negativity in Adelaide

Those people that say we have nothing to do here either have never been here or don't get out much. I have had the same discussion with friends in Sydney and Melbourne. I have met up with them and been like, "so what can we do now". They just look blankly and have no idea. They just say &...

Negativity in Adelaide

I was wondering for those that have been around for longer than me, does anyone know when the negativity in Adelaide came about? Was it after the state bank collapse? Was it something before that? Or has it always been here? Or has public commenting on articles brought it all to the surface? Every t...

Does anyone know if there will be any future land releases past the existing suburban Golden Grove boundaries?

Re: ONH: Golden Grove Village Redevelopment

Anyone know of the time gap between Clovercrest Bowl closing and Ingle Farm Bowland opening. I recall Clovercrest Bowl closing in the late 80's and Bowland opening around 2000-2001, but that seems a really long time to have bowling equipment laying idle. Getting wayy OT, but you guys have to read t...
