The majority do not want to live in a tiny apartment. 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 ...

There is work going on to clear out the old equipment and air conditioning from the mail exchange building. Probably to establish the self storage compartments - I don't hold much hope that this will ever be a decent residential / commercial development. It will be one day, but it seems quite likel...

I think there's a good compromise here. To avoid any impression that the parklands are just being treated as free land, the government should pay what the market rate would be to rent an area of land that large that close to the CBD when they want to take some of it like this. All that money gets pu...

Can anyone explain to me what's the major difference between the private paddock in North Adelaide and this? Why not relocate those horses as well and return the paddock in North Adelaide to everyone? Sent from my ASUS_AI2202 using Tapatalk Historically a lot of the parklands were used for animal g...

Unique selling point? Dead grass wasteland? Are you all there? The city being surrounded by greenery like Adelaide is is unique. Yes more of the parklands need work, but it's expensive, long term plans and selling them off in the short term would be stupid. We're lucky that viewpoints like yours di...

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 ...

Or going back a few steps further, the former former government should have never approved the west beach boat ramp. It was clear at the time this is exactly what would happen and they failed to listen. It shows just how much political decisions can impact in the longer term. It's also why it's imp...

I'm glad we don't have a stadium that doesn't have the "nicecities" of a covered roof or air-conditioning or TVs in front of your seat or whatever bullshit. There's something about the nit and grit of going to a footy game in the pelting rain, in your raincoats, on the hill having a few b...

that's not true at all suburban lifestyle is preferred to apartment living for most people... its the Australian way of life which many now seem to take for granted and want to turn the place into Europe but without all the historic sites and attractions It's not an either/or choice between the tra...

And then everyone stood up and clapped.

Yes to Aldinga and the Sellicks Beach corridor. No to Concordia extension Yes to a proper Gawler bus interchange to service Gawler and the Barossa Valley. Interested to find out why you're saying no to a Concordia extension. Why should Concordia get a train station? Is it justified? Train extension...

Counterpoint, as long as The Hill is open I think the view looks fantastic from Lights Vision. Walking or even driving there when the stadium is being used is such an amazing and unique sight.

This would be a better site for the women's and children's hospital rather than on the parklands.

But that would cost money for land, whereas the parklands are just free unused land waiting to be developed!

Hahaha, basically just saying that the plan is to allow whatever developments are cheapest in the short term with fuck all consideration for long term costs and flexibility. By all means build far flung new suburbs, but connect them to rail (or at least have reserved and protected rail corridors the...
