IMO, if they want to improve the Port, how about rebuilding the ugliest bridge in the southern hemisphere?..

It is heritage listed, all you can do is give it a new paint job like they do currently.

The government would be wrong to sell anything west of the connector on the grounds of preserving key environmental areas. The plan shows west of the project is land for use for environment. The land is also prone to flooding, the road is elevated 3m and will act as a wall to protect the developmen...

Just thinking about distance betwen buses. Surely the buses can run closer than they would on a freeway even. There is only 1 dimension of direction for the bus so the drivers have much less ability to make a mistake, it is safer then freeway driving. 10 second gaps would be easy to manage. And as w...

They dont need enough space to offload all passengers, just enough space to not crash in to the rear of the bus infront. 10 minute gaps is not even close to the distance they are running. Currently they go roughly 30secs to a minute apart at various times through out the day. Even in off peak they c...

It sounds good on paper to just buy property as the owner wants to sell but that surely creates problems also. Is the purchase compulsory? How could someone put the land for sale if they know the only buyer can be the government? Why would they sell? Wouldn't that just allow people to easy game the ...

All new development along the corridor should have been prohibited long ago I don't think you can just limit land like that without giving massive compensation and at that point perhaps you should just buy it. What does owning land mean if randomly along the life of it the government can just decid...

It would be interesting to see also if it was part of a multi site deal, that all other sites don't have very small value attributed to them and this one site now has a very large value.

I think it looks fine. Not every building is going to be a masterpiece, otherwise costs will be out of control and no one will be able to afford to use these buildings.

I find overhead cables feel like a roof. It completely destroys a nice open feeling free sky gives you. Rundle Malls beauty is its open air, putting a roof feeling in has got to be bad. I get a cramped feeling as you drive down north east rd(mostly between ABC and Holden Hill police station.) with a...

Certainly not the most attractive thing, and I sure wouldn't want to live next door to it, but it is kind of essential. Besides, there is a water treatment plant in Glenelg right next to million dollar beachfront property. The Glenelg plant is not at all comparable to the Bolivar sludge drying pans...

A lot more than moving dirt around happens in gilman, wingfield, Cavan, dry creek, Greenfields, mawson lakes, Salisbury, Bolivar, Burton etc. It is fairly demeaning to the entire area to suggest nothing more than dirt gets moved around in the north of Adelaide. The development includes walking and c...

Jobs will be from industrial development of the empty gilman land from the dump to Torrens island. There is massive amounts of land available out near gilman, wingfield, dry creek, cavan etc. Road connection is via a new freeway connecting it to all of Adelaide aka north-south motorway. It could eas...

The land requires the northern connector which will be raised to act as a barricade for the flood sea water that normally fills the area. The road is vital to the residential build. I imagine the salt pans will be dug out and new top soil placed. After that I don't think the land will be any worse t...

GG appear to have stores planned for North Adelaide and Gilles Plains shopping centres.

I will definitely go to GG at Gilles Plains
