Simple solution - put a rooftop bar on Festival Plaza Tower 2
Totally agree. Put a restaurant and bar up on the 38th floor! Views would be epic!

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

I have written to Premier Malinauskas about using the 2036 bicentenary as the occasion to get a massive funding boost for the parklands. Let’s see what happens!

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

With SA’s bicentenary a mere 11 years away, wouldn’t it be a great legacy for future generations if we could implement a bold vision to substantially spruce up the parklands to create a truly great urban park? I’ve looked at posts on this discussion going back to 2007 (17 years ago), and the laments...

I was against a second walker tower here but now that I have seen this beauty, I take it back! This will completely transform the look of our skyline and in the most prominent of positions. Its a mini and refreshed Rialto. https://i.ibb.co/tzCLz4s/5ff662f39b17680f7d7d2d35f2604070.jpg https://i.ibb....

[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...

MicBara … really impressed that you guys are trying to do something a little different with this tower rather than the standard “cram as much floor space in for least cost” development model that we usually see in Adelaide. You guys deserve every success with this proposal.

Evening everyone. Yep word is out - Westin Adelaide is in. The indaily had some old renders in there. You guys can have the work lodged for DA. MicBara … what are the contingency plans and Plan B if AMOSAH doesn’t receive government funding? You have to admit it’s a pretty big “if”. Will it be addi...

Yes to North Adelaide (a "destination" in it's own right, cafes, pubs, beautiful old homes, future apartments etc) No to Prospect Rd (just a really ordinary suburban area, a bus is more than sufficient for public transport needs along Prospect Rd) Prospect Rd is a high street approaching ...

Like the BHP building next to it, very ordinary design saved by really nice glazing.
I saw it in person last week, thought it was pretty decent and OK.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

I really think a loop which goes down Grote/Wakefield is the most logical solution. Firstly, it’s wide enough. Secondly, it provides connection to key destinations in the CBD - Central Market, Chinatown and Gouger St. It’s also useful for connecting to secondary locations such as Calvary Hospital an...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn

Once OBahn reaches its end of life it should be converted to heavy rail. Hard disagree. Would reduce convenience, increase travel times, destroy a nice green corridor, and also almost certainly cost much more than even completely rebuilding the whole O-Bahn track and building more buses locally for...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Adelaide Metro is designed to transport people in the morning peak from 8 am to 9 am and the afternoon peak from 5 pm to 6 pm. This means Adelaide Metro hires drivers for two shifts and they have excess capacity in the middle of the day. If we want to introduce free fares, the first place to introd...

[U/C] Re: Victoria Tower - 36 Grote Street | 123m | 35 levels | apartments

As I’ve said previously, if a western tram loop connecting RAH with Victoria Square (only 2-2.5km long) came to fruition, this part of town would go absolutely nuts with apartment and hotel towers.
