Fantastic news! Restaurants have proven successful in similar buildings around the world and it's nice to have another pre show or pre game option. Most importantly, it's great to see some of the grandeur of the station concourse restored. Personally, I'd love to see the Marble Hall/waiting lobby r...

The interstate-based developer doesn't give two sh*ts about the Port or SA, they just want to make a profit and without a strong guiding hand by a public-interest authority sh*t is all we will get. Thankfully the woolsheds are still banked for when we get are act together and develop a proper maste...

This: I think it's great it's being torn down. Equals this: The whole area is a wasted opportunity and will be nothing but boring suburbia. Bring on the residential development, but retaining the heritage features and vibe of the Port are the only way to avoid another soulless suburb of ticky tacky...

Like I said, the majority of people are content with being average. They are content with Adelaide being a big country town, while other cities leave us in their dust. Unfortunately everyone from business leaders to political leaders are content to sit back protecting their existing status quo. The...

Shame.

I hope that whatever replaces it mimics the sawtooth roof.

From the latest plans looks like it will be high-density, low-quality modern box future-ghetto residential apartment blocks with no redeeming architectural merit. Fantastic.

Haven't been to Perth stadium, but I have been to Marvel, and it's trash compared to AO. I've sat in every stand at AO since the rebuild for either football, soccer, or cricket, and never had an issue seeing all of the playing area from my seat, and I'm talking after they rejigged the cricket membe...

Yeah, metal and asbestos. Can fix asbestos. Newport quays and now "dock one" both look like generic suburban density projects which will age terribly and our children will curse us for destroying the Port Heritage and building such crap, much as we lament the generations before us for ripping down ...

The whole idea of IA is to sift out the uneconomic schemes. :lol: if only that was how they operated in practice. Morisson coming in through a spanner in the works as if Turnball was still here it almost certainly would have been announced. Will be interesting to see what a Fed Labor government do.

This year was the most fun I have had yet. Clipsal (sorry 'superloop') weekend to the end of Womad weekend was amazing. I am struggling to think of other places/ events/ festivals that I have been to anywhere overseas let alone Australia that have such an eclectic and interesting variety of people a...

With the T20 World Cup in Oct 20 what’s the chances they will announce a tram extension to AO and ready by then? I recall reading somewhere that extensive re-work of the King William street bridge would be needed to run trams over it due to modern engineering standards and hence why it stopped shor...

How's this for a compromise: Hotel is allowed to go ahead with government funding support, but any profits from it are put towards enhancing the parkland. If the development is actually as they say about making the oval a more unique destination then they should be happy with it being allowed to go...

New York to Perth, landed 5.30am and was working by 8am. Brutal.

How did you not fall asleep standing up? Perth is just about as far from New York as you can get

Lot's of caffeine and will power. Actually fell asleep standing up on the train after work!

Just imagine the boom for cafes along Prospect road after AFL/ cricket fixtures at Adelaide Oval if the tram went along Prospect road. It would spread the activity beyond the immediate vicinity of North Adelaide. Last I heard the North Adelaide traders were flat after the Adelaide Oval redo. Zero l...

The carpark and Hanson Institute no longer marked for demolition. :/

Disappointing! Those buildings are utterly without merit. I'm sure as the site becomes more successful there will be other opportunities to redevelop these areas, if not return them to botanic gardens.
