Keystone and Festival Plaza have both passed approval in regards to the airport. If Keystones 180m becomes the new standard height cap that provides for many decades of massive growth in the CBD.

If we reach the point that the proximity of the airport is a handbrake on the growth of Adelaide then ...

Slim details in the 7 News article stub I just saw, but sounds like the state government have declared the course upgrade a major project in order to completely sidestep the council before anyone gets a chance to stall. However they plan to hand it back to the council to manage when they're done ...

Yeah, Keystone is a great counterpoint to those who tried to slander anyone against this development as bring anti-progress.

It's had an entirely different and open planning process, and even many of the groups who would be against it have been begrudgingly complimentary of the planning and ...

If they were doing it because of how corrupt this is then I’d back it but their points and this democracy hub make me want to route for this.

These complaints totally missed the mark.


Doesn't matter now, but have seen plenty of comments talking about the other factors, I think they were ...

Advisory Note 3
No works, including site works can commence until a Development Approval has been granted.

Look forward to that it being enforced in any way.

Where are the above renders from? Concerning design direction if current.

I thought the whole argument for a taller tower was to preserve views to Parliament House. Reconcile that claim with the huge column blocking the balcony:

Finally, this building is on the SCAP agenda for approval next Wednesday :banana:


The State Government has already made it clear they will ensure it gets through, but my god can you imagine the fireworks if the "independent" assessment found something objectionable about it after they have ...

Harrop is saying that construction is going to start this year.

Be a bit hard to kick the residents out, but the building next door would make for a very attractive development site as well.


The carpark with apartments on top? They're apparently quite nice apartments, be interesting to see if their value drops as all their views and sunlight gets blocked ...

And not every business asks their workers to work at night, by the way.

Right, but they probably don't take the ceiling panels and desks home with them at night, by the way.

It makes good sense to not have intermittent 100 sections repeatedly speeding up and slowing down, since as Norman mentions it's standard for tunnels to have an 80 speed limit. With the Connector and Expressway being 110 I doubt the speed difference would change times much anyway.

It's around 25km ...

At this point I think the best thing that can be hoped for is that the Masonic Lodge tower manages to get started soon and beats this one to skyscraper status, so at least they're denied ever having that tallest building/first skyscraper crown.

It's a shame the path doesn't seem to be moving any further south as part of the works, giving opportunity for trees between it and the road. This whole section between James Congdon and the Parklands is abysmal for pedestrians as it involves hugging close to a main road with zero shade, but is ...

Has anyone heard any word about the Council’s plans to redevelop the neighbouring Hungry Jacks car park site? I remember a couple of years back they were saying it would likely be their next project after the Market Arcade. It would be interesting to see how it will interact with the proposal at ...

What ever it eventually looks like, it’s better then this dump of a building on the site.


Eh. The building on site is great with the street level activation, and since it's low-rise it's not like it's something ugly that can't be avoided. A Switch quality tower on this site would be a definite ...
