Re: News & Discussion: Other Transport Projects

The Marion Council is engaging with the community on upgrading Raglan Avenue between the Seaford Line and Towers Terrace. The main changes are more trees, raingardens and permeable paving to better protect the area from flash flooding. This ties in with the upgrade of Raglan Avenue on the other side...

I'm pretty sure the OTR will stay, the demolition is only happening south of English Avenue.

The people that run the pub don't own it. They lease the space from the current landlord. They could be running a profit for all we know, but the landlord can choose not to extend the lease if they want to develop it.

Re: The Housing Crisis

I don't have any data at the moment to back it up, but I thought most of those migrants would be international students commencing or resuming their studies in Australia post-Covid, merely making up the ones we lost. I'll have a bit more of a dig into the data when I can. From the ABS.. Key statist...

Re: The Housing Crisis

Migration is a big part of rising house prices and rents, but not the only factor.

Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments

The land has been reserved for a good 10 years or so, but I'm not sure if it was done in stages or in one go. There was a proposal during the Marshall government to shorten the reserved land back to Port Road/Quinlivan Road instead of Aldinga Beach Road, but this was overturned by the Mali government.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines

Apparently Batik Air will be suspending flights out of Adelaide from July, citing low passenger loads as the reason for stopping services. This now leaves Jetstar as the only direct flight after Virgin suspended services due to lack of aircraft.

Probably not, planning approval is just a formality at this point. I'm pretty sure legislation has passed parliament that allows this building to be constructed without hinderance.

This is definitely not sensational. If anything, it needs to be set back further and retain the existing space for a live music venue.

Re: News & Discussion: Laneway & Streetscape Projects

The upgrade looks great and is well overdue. I don't think the people in the tenders represent the actual crowd though ... Where's Stumbling Sam, Drunk Dave and a random person throwing up in one of the new planter boxes? Hopefully the urban elements are all designed to take plenty of damage, includ...

I think it has been put on hold rather than scrapped until they can find a suitable place for a new tram depot.
