I wonder if Flinders can be brought back on board so the burden for remaining funding doesn't fall wholly on the State Government. The Feds should have come through years ago.

This project needs a lot of extra funding to be viable. The original planned cost was for $280 million - Feds will kick in $68m, and SA Gov was going to kick in $40m. Flinders was originally going to kick in $60m. That's a pretty big shortfall...

$44m in next week's State budget for this according to the Tiser.

Is it too much to hope that a philanthropist will white knight and kick in some more? There are wealthy people in this state but seemingly few minded for public philanthropy.

I'm not sure if it is recorded on this forum anywhere, but the SA Govt contribution is the cost of moving the rail control centre that is currently on that land. At least, that was the plan when SAHMRI 2 was first proposed.

Looks like Commercial General are the builders and its about 14 levels

C&G are developer - not necessarily builder. Image is indicative only.

This has a website:

14 levels apparently.

Think this one is due to start this year.

Looks like there's some early site works work going on here. There's an excavator working at the
front of the site.

So this is now SWP?

I doubt it. As far as i know , no official applications have been lodged yet.

Probably just tidying up the area then.

Progress is progress.

Lodgement Date: 23/03/2018
Location: SAHMRI2, North Terrace, ADELAIDE SA 5000

So at this stage they're just putting up signage?

Sounds like it's going to take time, there's an office at the back of the site which needs to be vacated.
