Re: [CAN] 10 Anzac Highway | Kaufland Supermarket

Will be interesting to see what they do with the heritage listed buildings, I believe one of them was the first Commonwealth or Defence building built in SA.
Maybe it's a good opportunity to move the army museum and setup a broader Defence Force museum at Port Adelaide?

It's sad that you are continually so threatened by people having the ability to make choices in lifestyle that don't match up with how you want to live yours. The success of developments such as Bowden shows there is a lot of appetite for that sort of living. There's also plenty of people who would...

I think, more correctly, the majority can't afford to buy anything within the CBD Doubt it. It's cheaper to buy an apartment. But the majority still choose to buy a detached dwelling. The majority of active members of this forum might prefer to live in a shoebox apartment because it suits their lif...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

The 22% increase is going to be an absolutely massive hit to already struggling households. And the recession hasn't even technically hit yet. We're in for a dire couple of years. Is the increase in consumption tariffs or the daily tariff? If it's consumption tariffs, then we're going to see more h...

I find this surprising, considering the current state of the housing market (demand far outstripping supply), and the severe shortage of comparable projects at the ready to build stage. That said, selling out a building with 800+ apartments would be another kettle of fish. To my knowledge it hasn’t...

Re: #Official Defence Thread

I'm not sure whether anyone else has seen the new Maritime Combat System Integration Centre (MCSIC) at St Kilda recently? This is an enormous building where they will be integrating full combat system suites prior to being installed onto the ships. It has just been completed and, when at full capab...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

The base supply cost for households is going up like 22%, to $2200~ a year for SA in NSW its going up to$1800~ a year. We're the poorer state but are paying more. Government ministers saying they'll bring it down by $275~ or whatever by the year 2025. How much higher will it go before then? Interest...

Re: #Official Defence Thread

If the SA government was smart, they would start creating a nuclear industry in SA that would be able to cash in on the entire Life of Type of the nuclear boats instead of just looking at the glossy sticker price and being happy with that. After all, a large chunk of that reported cost is in-servic...

Re: #Official Defence Thread

Governments stuffed up because the think tanks they rely on to formulate much of their policies stuffed up in their assessments with regards to China for example. We should have selected nuclear subs long ago, and had at least a few operational by now. We should never have selected a French nuclear ...

[VIS] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital

To call this “parklands” is an absolute joke. Dead grass and under utilised space. When was the last time anyone actually stepped foot in this area? If you are going to make this parklands well look after it and develop the area if not step aside and let someone develop the area. The whole eastern ...

From what I’ve heard they are having trouble getting construction funding because of low sales. It’s hearsay but from a fairly reliable source. I find this surprising, considering the current state of the housing market (demand far outstripping supply), and the severe shortage of comparable project...

Never heard of sexual assaults, or any assault, happening on the pedestrian side of things along Rosetta st? There has been an assault (I think of a sexual nature, I can't remember) in this underpass in the last couple of years. Before Labor got in we have received various letters from Peter Malina...
