[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway



Correct. Torrens to Darlington will be the final link in the North-South Motorway, and the overall North-South Corridor from Gawler to Noarlunga.


Can someone please tell me why it's always "Noarlunga to Gawler", when the controlled access road actually goes (almost) all the way to Nuriootpa?

Previous render with the angled roof line was much better. This kind of skyline-defining building needs a distinctive silhouette, not just more boxes.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams



The problem with the original alignment was that the intersection was a traffic nightmare, rather than how much traffic could get down LeFevre. You can still get to Lefevre from two directions in the Northern end. Plus, it's only one lane each way.

Now, that's not to say we couldn't get some ...

Is the old GPO clock tower also still called Victoria Tower? IIRC the Town Hall clock tower is the Albert Tower.

I think it's important that we continue to scold and berate this development until it changes back.
Changes back? Critique this shit show for sure, but the previous proposal is dead, move on from it.
Can't believe you took that seriously!

1) Reduce migration to sustainable levels - with Australia not manufacturing lots and the economy not growing how can we justify such high migration levels.

Personally I think FT1, Southern Cross Arcade and this (along with the masons tower will) have set a new benchmark for Adelaide.
Myself, I would add the Sky City building to that short list. Not as tall as the others, but a stand-out IMO.

That is a nice looking tower - so much better than the standard glass block!

Embassy should be on the left, bridge and church building with the bell tower should be on the right.
Indeed! Cars should be on the left side of the road.

Cities are starting to come around to listing brutalist buildings. GHD is not great (particularly after the last refurbishment), but ABC and the Hilton are solid (ha!) examples, as is much of the state admin area.


GHD looked better with the brown glass. The old Highways Dept building at ...

The common areas would need to be up to scratch though.
Seeing as they are student housing, are there study areas included in the common areas? Or are the common areas just for cooking, eating and socialising?

Like I originally sid I hope street activation brings this to life. Light rail is so overdue for here and the city loop. Itd really bring Nth Adl into the CBD and connect them.


light rail doesn't do much for KW Street South... its a ghost town there
