Re: New Adelaide public transport hub
Can't see why you'd want to relocate the current peripheral station even more peripherally. And besides that, interstate and regional rail are (and will foreseeably remain) minor or non concerns. What's pressing is the need to through-run metropolitan trains underground through the city that will, ...

Re: New Adelaide public transport hub
An integrated transport hub is a good idea. But we are so far behind on other transport needs by the time we get something like that, the other capitals will have evolved to flying cars. High speed interstate rail. Not even a pipe dream for SA, even if they ever build one on the east coast. Regiona...

New Adelaide public transport hub
Currently we have suburban trains using Adelaide Railway Station, interstate trains using the Parklands Terminal, long distance buses using the bus station at Franklin Street and a lack of a dedicated suburban bus interchange for Adelaide city. Somehow there must be a way to provide all those servic...

Re: Glenelg Ferry & Cruise ship terminal
Here's one of a few concepts I put together a few years ago when there was talk about a ferry terminal at Glenelg. This one doesn't include moorings for large yachts. I also thought the terminal could house an aquarium or a museum. It would have cafes, shops etc. Possibly room for conventions and e...

Re: Commonwealth Games in Adelaide
I agree with the fact that 2026 Commonwealth Games may not be the best fit for Adelaide because of the cost, shorter timeframe and infrastructure projects that will not be completed by then. And I think I'll wait for the Queensland government’s decision on whether Brisbane would bid for the 2032 Oly...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
The increase in population and the demand for travel as well as technological advancements mean we need to work really hard to attract international flights to Adelaide. Maybe within the next 5 to 10 years, when we have ultra long haul aircraft, we could have non-stop flights from Adelaide to a numb...

[COM] Re: Memorial Drive upgrade
Why would we split up the potential CBD sports precinct by moving the Tennis out to what is effectively the middle of nowhere as far as public transport and hospitality/retail is concerned instead of moving the Netball to Memorial Drive? As far as I'm concerned, there is a lack of room to expand th...

[COM] Re: Memorial Drive upgrade
Longer term, I think tennis should be relocated from Memorial Drive to a site combined with the existing netball centre at Mile End to create a new state netball and tennis centre, it has the potential to offer larger space and it would also be close to other existing and potential new sports facili...

Here's the map that I've drawn about a possible route for a freeway connection (in green) between North-South Motorway and South East Freeway, along with a possible rail alignment (in blue) through the Adelaide Hills. The underground sections are represented by broken lines.

Re: Beer Garden
Adelaide definitely needs a world-class rectangular stadium. No ifs or buts. I think most here on this forum agree. The location could be the SA Athletics Stadium, but it would be sad to see that go as many use it including schools. I think the best bet is the netball stadium next door. Raise that ...

Re: Beer Garden
Just a quick remark. The Commonwealth Games will only attract people from a limited number of countries. Most of these know about Australia and perhaps to a lesser degree Adelaide. What we want are international events on a continuous basis that will attract people from all over the world. These do...

What a shame that Adelaide will most likely miss out on a chance to be part of the FIFA Women's World Cup bid by Australia! When cities such as Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Canberra and even regional cities which may include Townsville, Gold Coast, Newcastle and Geelong are part of the bid. T...
