Assuming that such an island is feasible from an engineering perspective, the other question is whether it would still be simpler to just use such an island for residential purposes rather than relocate an airport.

Then there's the question of alternatives. If an alternative airport were built at ...

Andy, if you had said relocate the Adelaide International Airport to the RAAF Base Edinburgh and move the base to Monarto, etc., perhaps your vision would be more plausible. But let's be serious. The current airport will be sufficient for a while yet. Give it at least 10 years before thinking ...

Sorry, but there is no tangeable benefit to moving airport. 24/7 flights does not put weight a cost of like $15 billlion relocation plan. Plus you’ve have to widen roads around the new airport and all of that.

The current airport will be undoing a large expansion soon anyway, and eventually a ...

We need an honest discussion about potentially relocating Adelaide’s airports!

Adelaide Airport (our main international airport) has served us well for decades! However, in the long term, capacity at the existing Adelaide Airport will be constrained. Additionally, the current location of Adelaide ...

Contact might be up in 2036, but it will be renewed before it expires.


We don't know what the future lies ahead, and anything can happen and once the contract expires, I think Adelaide has a chance of hosting the Australian Open grand slam tennis! All we need is a future State Government who is ...

Let’s bring the Australian Open tennis to Adelaide!

The Australian Open is contracted for Melbourne until 2036 and is up for grabs after that! The Australian Open will not stay in Melbourne forever, and I do want the Australian Open tennis to come to Adelaide after Melbourne’s time is up!

The ...

There are literally hundreds of race tracks around the world that would be better for the F1 than The Bend. Having ambitious ideas is good, but this doesn't add up.

F1 is portrayed as glamorous, powerful. They absolutely don't want caravans lined up along the track.


Not really true mate! The ...

Don't buy into the pie in the sky nonsense from them, because all it's designed to do is lure more tax payers money their way.

Furthermore, the suspension of the race in Russia is temporary, as are all the measures being taken.

Sydney has it's eye on the Formula 1.
In this day and age, where ...

The Turkish Grand Prix is most likely going to take the place of the Russian GP. In future they will probably add a third GP in the US, as there have been numerous talks about Las Vegas hosting a race. There's been a huge push for more races in the US by F1's US owners Liberty Media.


Turkey ...

Won't happen. It costs north of $40m to bid for an F1 event these days, not to mention The Bend isn't up to F1 standards (although that could change).

As much as I would love for the F1 to return to SA, it won't be happening anytime soon, if ever.


I'm sure the owners of The Bend have a lot of ...

Requirement is that neurosurgery is accessible within 20 minutes. Murray Bridge does not have that, and RAH and Flinders is more than a 20min helicopter flight away.


How did you find that out? Did you get in touch with any F1 officials or staff, or anyone connected to them? Because there is ...

The Bend doesn't have adequate medical facilities in sufficient proximity to meet Grade 1 status; and the other requirements would cost significantly more than "a few million dollars".


Murray Bridge hospital is only 25 minutes from The Bend, and for more serious medical incidents, there is ...

I strongly believe there is an opportunity for Australia to host another round of the F1 Grand Prix, at The Bend Motorsport Park.

With F1 terminating Russia's Grand Prix contract, and with strong ticket sales to the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park in April, I think there is an opportunity to ...

Why would tennis want to move from its brilliant current location to the Showgrounds? It’s like asking cricket and football to move to the Showgrounds.


Moving tennis centres is without precedent in Australia. Melbourne relocated tennis from Kooyong to Melbourne Park in the late 1980s since ...

I think the Memorial Drive site could be used to build a new 25000-30000 seat rectangular stadium to maximise use and legacy of the Riverbank precinct, bringing higher capacity crowds closer to the city centre. To allow for more space and vibrancy, parts of Montefiore Rd and maybe War Memorial Drive ...
