Some quick, dirty and terrible maths. Olympic Dam the world's fourth largest copper deposit has 2.95 billion tonnes of ore @ 1.2% copper. 1.2% of 2.95 billion tonnes is 35.4 million tonnes of copper. 35.4 million tonnes is 35.4 billion kg. EV car has about 80kg of copper. So Olympic Dam has enough c...

I thought events like gather round, Adelaide 500 and liv golf made Adelaide more livable.
Lacks of things to do is perhaps the biggest complaint potential, but mostly ignorant, interstate tourists have about Adelaide.

Ways South Easter Freeway is better than North South Motorway.
Emergency stopping lanes.
Emergency telephones.
On/off ramp design.
Sight lines.

What features of the North South motorway would anyone want to replicate on the South eastern freeway?

This project is a part of the while South-eastern freeway becoming a Managed Motorway with additional technologies such as lane use management, incident detection and others. This will bring it in line with existing freeways like the North-South Motorway. South-eastern freeway is an existing freewa...

I do think we should consider distance based ticketing in SA. The recent ads on how PT is better financially don't cut it when passengers pay full fare to travel four or five stops. My understanding is PT gets a great deal of large subsidy because it pays for itself by reducing congestion. If you e...

Pretty sure that IGA store if it were in Adelaide would be too large and would have standard trade restrictions applied.
So not sure what your angle is here. That size store is not what the trade restrictions are intended to protect.

At the moment in SA, Convenience Stores that sell fuel have different trading restrictions from convenience stores that do not sell fuel. Our trading laws need a complete rethink in many areas, and this is another one. The largest supermarket in my area is the "independent" Foodland, bigg...

Electricity in SA is simple - buy solar and batteries.
The sa gov is throwing money at you all the time.

I paid for solar and later a battery. I am about 95% self sufficient other than my system does depend on the main grid being on to work at all. That requirement for the grid to be on is because I didn't want to pay more to gain a feature I don't consider important. Get the right solar/battery syste...

All the way to beach road? Isn't it one main road over and only 1km?

In no universe is Mali's desire here a good one.

Tell us your alternative then.

Certainly not releasing huge tracts of land for urban sprawl.

That is certainly not an answer.

I feel there is as much house character along Anzac Highway as there is along South Road.

I personally think saving a few old private houses is entirely pointless.

Adelaide rules are the exact same as rules seen in Perth and Brisbane. Adelaide is not unique or 10 years behind etc. Adelaide does a typical thing seen in multiple other major cities in Australia. All that said I would entirely support unrestricted trading in the Adelaide CBD. I haven't actually se...
