[SWP] Re: Buckingham Arms | 10lvs | $150m


drive past this site regularly, whilst I am happy to see it developed. I think I'll stop driving past it as the traffic is going to be woeful.


Do you mean during construction, or do you believe the residents and their service providers are going to make an appreciable increase in traffic once ...

Re: The Housing Crisis

Oops, it's been a few days since I threw this cat at the pigeons, and cutting welfare payments to people who need them in order to make them leave their public housing was not the angle I was thinking of.

I was looking at all the government assistance to encourage urban sprawl, and wondering if ...

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b


Definitely very competitive commute times compared to other outer suburban areas. At 615am on a weekday morning Google Maps states it is a 25 minute drive from Riverlea to the Entertainment Centre, where one could park and get a free tram to thr City. Much shorter journey than Mt Barker, Seafood ...

Re: The Housing Crisis

We appear to currently have a preference to solve the Housing Crisis by attempting to assist young people to extend urban sprawl by offering incentives for new-build houses, with the ambition that the "crisis" will be solved by increasing the supply of houses . The government collects massive ...

Re: The SA Politics Thread

This week, we had a state budget that paid lip service to drip feeding some money towards a Greater Adelaide Bypass some time n the future.

We also had the announcement that JBS will be mothballing its Seven Point Pork abattoir near Port Wakefield at the end of the year. The root cause eventually ...

In today's tizer - note of a new $60 million private school for Riverlea.

Geez i know that Riverlea is being done by Lang Walker - is this supposed to be a suburb for Millionaires out in the middle of nowhere.

Whilst i do understand the need for more housing and the expansion of Adelaide ...

[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.


The pedestrian crossings appear to be set back from the line of the noise walls. A car/truck ...

[PRO] Re: Roseworthy Satellite City 43,300 homes

I drove up the Horrocks Highway today past the four new housing estates. The map above only shows three, as the Villawood one at the southern end is in Gawler Belt not Roseworthy, but is directly across Kangaroo Flat Road from the Southern precinct of Roseworthy Gardens. St Yves is next, with a ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines


Unfortunately, the luxury of having a 24/7 airport does not outweigh the massive cost and upheaval of moving the airport to the north of the city


Parafield also has a curfew. Edinburgh does not, but maybe because of much lower traffic, as people still complain.

GlobeLink proposed either ...

It's barely regional, but lots of chatter today with people questioning the rail strategy of the government.
