Slim details in the 7 News article stub I just saw, but sounds like the state government have declared the course upgrade a major project in order to completely sidestep the council before anyone gets a chance to stall. However they plan to hand it back to the council to manage when they're done.

A monument to the corrupting influence of capitalism, built on freely and opaquely acquired public land, casting a long and permanent shadow over the state's house of democracy?

I mean really, for a public art installation of such size and statement, we should all be paying Walker

Obviously it's not finished. I suspect they are installing some brackets for a roof cover or lighting or something.

Yeah you can see a decent sized hole drilled into the concrete in the middle of each bare patch

The Marshall Plan for buses had a very large and very negative impact on the southern suburbs, as a resident of said southern suburbs I'm glad they didn't get up. The lynchpin of their plan was getting everyone citybound to go intermodal on the Flinders line, without putting a bus interchange within ...

The ACC now has an interactive urban forest map, you can get info on every tree for which they're responsible , and report damage or health issues, which is pretty neat

Our state government is sleeping at the wheel if they aren't working this federal election to get more funding for projects in SA.


There's not really a lot they can do - with only 2 marginal seats in the entire state, one of each colour, there's little incentive for either Fed party to do more ...

Pretty major crash on the O-Bahn today, right at the northern end where the track exit goes under Smart Rd before turning sharply right to hook the bus around the island that is the TTP interchange; instead of turning right at 20km/h the bus has gone straight on into the large gum tree there, at ...

At least the Roseworthy corridor is still there and intact - they could just send one crew on a budget out there to start now, and by the time they finished cleaning up the plants and crossings, and re-laying all the rails and sleepers, Roseworthy would be just about ready to need it

Interesting take on the back bone of the Australian economy. The people you just described as the stupidest people you've ever met, are responsible for 1/3 of the Australia's GDP, and employ over 5 million Australians out of a total workforce of roughly 14 million.


I think you'll find the ...

It's the repeated pain more than the length for me. Within 10 years they'll need to shut down again to remove level crossings at least Beckman St and Goodwood Road. I'd rather they just do them all now.

Goodwood Rd maybe, but Beckman St? I highly doubt it.

They're both the only remainig ...

Doesn't give you much hope in the capacity of South Australia business owners.

We are worried about costs, let's invest in something that's going to be most expensive for us to invest in

I don't think they'd be going there if they couldn't have live music, it's a core value.

Should also help the proprietors learn how to deal with a tower of student neighbours, and give them experience at trying to get some of them through the doors.
