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

Why, just because there is a lowered section of road does there need to be some sort of traffic gymnastics? I still don’t get the port road set up every time I use it. Travelling 50 meters East, to do a u turn to travel west just makes no sense to me. In the scheme of this massive project… buying ...

Thanks for all the photos for those that post them. It’s impressive watching Adelaide grow from afar, and the annual visit, there’s always lots of change now. This one.. nice to see this strip bulking up., but architecturally… nothing remarkable.. again. At least most new developments in SA are ...

Re: M1 South-Eastern Freeway

Truro to Nantawarra could be another big project of similar scale or the state could pick out smaller projects to ease the biggest itch of the day. There will still need to be more work on urban connection between the SEF and NSM. There will need to be more work between Truro and Nantawarra ...

[SWP] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 2 | 160m | 38 Levels | Office

I’m a bit confused over the angst on this development.
1. It has not been pristine open parkland for over 150 years
2. It has had previously a very ordinary public bath complex there, and some other rather ordinary buildings adjacent
3. After the baths, it was a hot barren wasteland, albeit with an ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

I’m a bit confused by this. There is already a rail reserve via Rosewater connecting with dry creek? This would almost match that alignment surely? Also.. what load on the Outer Harbour corridor? 2 car sets every half hour or so is hardly crush load? Having said that, I’m all for linking the Port ...

Re: News & Discussion: Regional Transport

I’m sure there’s figures out there, but would be interesting to know how many people traveled to games at AO each weekend via coaches vs private cars from Riverland/ Spencer Gulf etc.. surely there is a case to investigate a couple of modern V/Lo city sets for these lines, and book slots for express ...

Whilst government intervention here is warranted, and essential from a strategic view.. as well as the economic viability of Whyalla… The billions being discussed here is an obscene amount of money for a single steel plant. They will need many international customers to make it viable.

[PRO] Re: North Adelaide Golf Course Upgrade | ~$50m

This is a great outcome on the back of LIV, and this particular course is possibly the best located in Australia with regard to proximity to a CBD. Whilst Grange is a great course, the surrounds and arrival roads are hardly inspiring, and not worthy of such an international event. This will increase ...

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


Seems like a weirdly unnecessary loss of a heritage listed building to me. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but can't help notice the proximity of the Crows' new dining/bar venue and the convenient removal of the nearest competition for a left turn lane that doesn't really need to exist, and ...

I think the bumpy concrete facings that are installed to the white horizontal banding and balustrades has helped bring the overall aesthetic up.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams



I'm wondering if (more hoping) the government has been holding off on tram network expansion plans until the network is returned to public hands? Made it easier to get back, and they can announce big plans for the network owned by the people of SA heading into the next election.
