Defence swaps Keswick Army Barracks for Osborne land to allow shipyards expansion The historic Keswick Army Barracks will be unlocked for redevelopment as the Defence Department commits to handing over the prime real estate to the state government in a remarkable land swap crucial to the expansion ...

Never heard of sexual assaults, or any assault, happening on the pedestrian side of things along Rosetta st? There has been an assault (I think of a sexual nature, I can't remember) in this underpass in the last couple of years. Before Labor got in we have received various letters from Peter Malina...

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 beers and banters with your mates like it's a local footy game, but it's AFL, that no other AFL stadium can offer. To some that seems depressing, but to me, and I'm sur...

And the newly built Ovingham station has one active crossing commissioned, one still not available. How is it so hard to get these things going? When Croydon Station was rebuilt it took almost a year to get the active crossings up and running. There must be some technical complexity that isn't obvi...

Meanwhile, 9 months after someone died at North Adelaide station, there has still been zero action on bringing the active crossing online. And I've noticed that since the incident there is quite often a police patrol car sitting next to it, sometimes with up to 4 people inside, presumably monitorin...

Why do they have an image of War Memorial Drive crossing, maybe, Morphett Road??

It's Park terrace. Some time prior to 2015.

Sheffield Shield cricket used to be free Apparently it still is, at Karen Rolton Oval. Yep, pretty sure all Karen Rolton Sheffield Shield games are free, it's only the ones played at the Oval which are ticketed. It's the WBBL games played at Karen Rolton Oval which are fenced off. There were eight ...

Most importantly this would be a replacement for Karen Rolton Oval which is basically an overflow for cricket matches at Adelaide Oval. This would negate any further expansion of this venue into the parklands, as need arises, like we have seen recently. I'm still struggling to see why a well mainta...

Minor update but the gradual restoration of Union House is slowly marching on. The ground floor looking out onto Barr Smith Lawns has now been opened up to be the outdoor undercover space it was originally designed to be. https://i.imgur.com/9yrwLwd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jN38RLa.jpg https://i.imgu...

I think a key factor is that there's still far too many things that you need to go outside of the area for — they still haven't established all the low hanging fruit of everyday retail and services. If that could be addressed, I think that would allow for many households to ditch one car. (And I do...

I’m glad Nightingale are involved but 200 car parks? I guess so Mali’s driver can park somewhere when Mali goes to Bowden to get selfies with people and kick the footy :D To be fair that's on Third Street, right next to Plant 4/Plant 3 etc and is to replace the current open air carpark which is bei...

I would give some of the blame for this to the developers. Instead of focusing on the corridors (except for Churchill Road and Prospect Road), developers have been picking the low-lying fruit, subdividing old post-war houses, and building two or three new houses. This has caused a lot of issues wit...

The trouble is that the APPA and the like see everything as development - paths, lighting, changing rooms, kiosks, grounds maintenance sheds etc (i.e. the very things that give people a reason to visit the parklands). Even drainage infrastructure and railway lines which have existed for 150 years ar...

Knocking it down would indeed mean no centre for a couple of years, but that's a small price to pay if we want a modern facility. Im not one to protest tge loss of a tree, but in this case the existing centre already equates to a loss of parklands when it got built, may as well remain within that f...
