Why on earth did they buy it?


There was a Govt request for tender for a new Pathology building. One of the key criteria was proximity to RAH. I suspect that they purchased this site because it would have put them in the box seat to win that tender. With Pathology as a key long term tenant it ...

A couple of months ago there was a Renewal SA request for developer proposals for this site. I suspect it is being cleaned up ready to hand over to the successful tenderer.

If the aim is to improve public transport use and speed you would turn Greenhill Rd into an overpass (trams currently have to wait for the light sequence after stopping at the station) and leave Beckman St and Goodwood Rd because at grade stations are much quicker and easier to access.

abc is correct on this one. There were many proposals which received approvals over the years but the developers either sat on it, demolished previously occupied buildings then sat on it or just sold it to realise the capital gain that comes from having a site with a higher height limit than prior ...

Google Maps shows New Mayfield as 69 and the adjacent building allotment (which contains an open air parking lot) as 43-69. I suspect this is simply a retrospective planning application for the existing parking lot.

Lease would have reached it's end and Woolworths would have provided an offer that suited the landlord better. Seen it before. They fight each other as much as they fight to maintain their duopoly.

This isn't a bus/train interchange. This is buses and trains servicing FMC and Flinders University. Running buses into the middle of the Flinders Uni precinct adjacent the train station would kill that space. In addition to the buses at the entrance to FMC there are bus stops on University Drive ...

Went past this the other day and they look like they're at least up to level 3. At about 2,000m2 per floor that's 10,000m2. Hardly no discernible change.

The images from the Indaily article are the previous submission.

The new scheme hasn't been released.

Cross Road/Marion Road followed by South Road followed by the Seaford/Flinders/Belair line. Three bunny hops in a row. I almost wonder if it would be better to just raise up the section of tramline between Cross Road and Goodwood station and enable even more roads to go underneath.


Surely then ...

This is tracking roughly to the original timeframe. There are quite a few stages to go through on a project like this.

Expression of interest for potential developers
Negotiation with preferred developer
Planning code amendment based on developer's proposal for the site masterplan (Community ...

In March they announced the land swap was agreed in principle.

This announcement while primarily about creating positivity around ship building / AUKUS, it still provided timeframes for when each parcel of land was to be provided to the other party, how long they would be leased back and ...

Unlike the statements from Putin which are 100% true?

Maybe I'm naive but I tend to put more faith in democratic countries with a free press (albeit controlled by private interests) than dictatorships with wholly government owned press.

The west is far far far from perfect but in a battle of ...

Simple reason there would be a moratorium on renewables....The only way nuclear power can compete with other forms of power (including coal) is if the plant is govt built and competition is removed.

Funding has increased to hospital services but decreased from prevention services. This increases the number of people attending hospital and increases the co-morbidities. End result, longer stays in hospitals, more bed block, more ramping.

Also, ageing population and Australia now pushing America ...
