I believe the air-strip is next to be developed. Direct flights from Parafield Airport??? /s

Bonza to Gold Coast? How big will it be?

Running a train up there for events such as the Supercars weekend, would be a good test to see if it's going to be utilized at all. I'm sure some local may decide to jump on the train and head into Adelaide for example that weekend and come back, depending on how often it would be running on those ...

and it continues ...... Back-to-back-to-back: SA only state growing exports South Australia is the only state in the nation to grow its exports according to latest trade stats as trade with China continues to soar – up nearly 40 per cent year-on-year. The state’s merchandise exports reached $17.7 b...

Run 'event' trains up there for the supercars weekend as a start. There are probably three or four event weekends a year. Is there enough Overland rolling stock available to run event trains from existing equipment or would new trains be needed anyway? Is there a siding at Elwomple? That might be w...

It's 120 homes across the three developments... The problem with opening the railway station for The Overland is what would make it cost-effective? There must be some cost in just slowing the weight of the train down to stop and getting it going again. There's also the cost that (assuming it's most...

New Tailem Bend Housing Developments Proposed Coorong Council is assessing two housing development plans in Tailem Bend. Property investment group ‘Asset Point Proprietary Limited’ has filed plans for a large plot of land in the town’s south-east, not far from the local Bowling Club. If approved, t...

Rather than build new areas in outskirts of Adelaide I think we need to build up and encourage people to live in regional cities instead , for example Murray Bridge and Wallaroo. and how would you encourage people to live in those places? We could encourage people to live in those places by providi...

Long commutes should be unpleasant enough to encourage better choices, which take time to change. More cross-suburban public transport would help people choose it. People who live in outer areas should work there, or people who work in outer suburbs should live there. Just like new freeways, new ra...

When living in the suburbs is getting more and more expensive and inaccessible to first-home buyers, the only natural way for things to go is outward. Bowden-style living also isn't suitable for all people, some might want a mid-sized home with a fair backyard to raise a family and will happily sac...

To me, the bigger questions are why we would want commuter rail from these extreme outer suburbs and county towns to feed in to Adelaide City. If it's available, the "induced demand" argument will fill these outer suburbs with people intending to commute to Adelaide, then complaining abou...

people can read the article and make up their own minds, however you dictated what that opinion would be with your original comment The point I saw was that high retail prices are because retailers have to build in a margin to cover "high price events" when the actual spot price jumps fro...

There are practical difficulties with running high frequency services on single tracks. I'm not sure if the corridors are wide enough to easily duplicate the track without negotiating with dozens of land owners. Not impossible, but neither quick nor cheap.

Not everyone wants to live in a house in woop woop

The site of this "woop woop" is closer to Rev's square mile image than the Bowden development is.

To be honest, I cannot see a business case for urban rail to Virginia and Riverlea ever stacking up, despite being quite a large potential catchment area (40,000+ people). It would be an extension of about 16-17km which you would need to double-track to join it to the existing Gawler line. This is ...
