In the above series of photos, are the footings in the top left of the area from the old 1950's wing of the RAH or are they newly constructed?

The only positive I can find about the facade change is that it lets in more natural light for tenancies facing the Mall. I could be wrong but the amount of windows hasn't changed - if anything it will let less light in as the cladding has gone on top of existing windows especially in the photo sho...

I don't understand this government logic that the current population doesn't warrant a new rail link. What ever happened to "Build it and they will come" - rail and public transport corridors should be factored into any new development. There is no point in waiting until everyone moves in ...

A very stumpy and plain design and not a very good use of the land I think.

Thanks guys. Fingers crossed its still going to happen.

Has there been any updates on the former Harbours Building? Its looking worse everytime I see it with more windows boarded up. I hope it still gets the "1970's hotel" treatment that was originally proposed many years ago.

I'll reserve judgement until i see what they have done to the inside of the GPO. If its been whitewashed or gutted, zero stars.

I live in a 1950's double brick home and don't often need heating or cooling until days like today (41 degrees). However, I noticed the house behind us (built approx. 5 years ago with a dark grey tiled roof) has their cooling doing almost 24/7 during summer. I'd hate to think what their elec bill wo...

Who ever approved this "upgrade" should be fired. Absolutely awful in every regard. I don't think even some tacky LED accent lights can help here.

Ewww. Vom. Just what we needed, another sole-less grey monstrosity

Those offices and cleaning rooms cause a bit of a bottle neck when getting off a train on Platforms 8 and 9 especially when multiple trains pull in at once. I still feel that the railway station needs way more love and attention to attempt to restore it closer to what it would have been like origina...

Those window frames are aluminium - they will outlast mankind.
I am not a fan of the random "fins" though. They serve no purpose and look stupid. But at least its an improvement over that horrid orange whatever that was plastered all over the building previously.

I've always been told that the new station would be an island platform with the metro trains on the non-museum side and the NRM trains on the other but that plan only shows one track into the platform....

Oh geez that new facade of the Myer centre looks shockingly boring. Why is everyone so obsessed with grey these days? Back in the 1950's through to the 70's, colour was everywhere. Now, its all grey, black and white. Very depressing.

You would think they would install some shade sails or protection up on that top level. That would be like an oven in summer
