Don't quote me on this, but I overheard someone say that the site was too small for Costco's liking.

[SWP] Re: [VIS] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital

Also, imagine failing so hard at the planning of this project that a rail station isn't even considered as part of it. Agreed. Both a tram stop near the main entrance and a railway station to the immediate north of the Port Road bridge would ensure that the entirety of ‘BioMed City’ is easily acces...

There seems to be some continued minor early works. Mobile crane on site today.

Also, imagine failing so hard at the planning of this project that a rail station isn't even considered as part of it.

Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport Contracts, Service & Policy

Even many minor railway stations on the Sydney network i.e. Asquith have at least a shop in the vicinity. We still have one or two stations without even a housing estate nearby, but the government wants to "release for housing" vacant land miles from everything. I'm not sure why we have p...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Incl. 115m Tower | $800 million

I would go as far as saying that if they are trying to sneak a second tower in instead of the lower restaurants/bars that were presented and are more more in fitting with this being a public space, that it should be more of an open tender/offer for bids from multiple parties. That won't happen howe...

Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments

This is the first agreeable planning issue I have heard Champion speak of, so credit where it is due.

The next step will be to improve building materials used in construction.
