Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines

Why don't we move the CBD to an artificial island and build the new airport where the CBD is? The new Festival Tower can be the control tower....

You can't ban the practice out right, however a vacant land tax would certainly be doable.

Time limit restrictions on selling the land could be enacted. i.e. 2 year rule for any land allotments exceeding X square metres - you'd have to set a minimum square metreage so as to not accidentally ...

I look forward to the day this is banned.


I'm not sure what mechanisms could be implemented to stop this though

This site is now for sale. Obviously never a serious proposal and just trying to increase value.

Update 1/6/2025, for froestville. Nothing is happening at the west end (closest to Anazac Hwy). The hole in the ground is still the same. The only activiity has as at the far east end where curbing for a roadway has been poured and some street lights have been installed.

I noticed that no trams were running over the wekend. This seemed to due to some ttrack work between south tce & Grenhill Rd?
Temporary depot being built there so that trams can still run in the CBD while the 3x overpasses are built.

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

How much traffic will actually be turning right from Anzac to head north? Mainly those coming from Leader St?

Surely most City/Greenhill Rd traffic will enter the motorway northbound from Richmond Rd or Port Rd (for City traffic)?

Southbound, I can see a reasonable amount of traffic turning right ...

I look forward to planning literature in another 40 or so years, after a century of car-centred urban sprawl and development, of how developments like this, Buckland Park and more are all horribly unviable mistakes that ultimately deliver little benefit.

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

It seems to be a similar concept to what they've done at Port Rd. Turn left to Turn right.

This is a much more compact application of it though. I can see the tight nature of it causing issues.

Lola's Pergola was another Fringe pop-up venue from around the same time. From memory it was roughly where Home Ground is now?

How much do Glamadelaide charge for promotional articles
The amount of utter crap they're churning out really seems to have increased of late.

Want to go halves in writing a dummy press release for something obviously fake so we can see how they can spin into a positive PR article?
