Love the paintwork on the buildings, but the landscaping looks so cold and soulless... Compared to the other end of North Terrace where there are elements of timber, stone, varying colour, lots of planting. This however reminds me a lot of Rundle Mall, and not in a good way. I disagree about the wh...

Oddly, land use doesn't appear to be a stipulation for the sale? Is the City of Salisbury's 'urban core' zoning enough to prevent this from becoming low-rise industrial/commercial or some such?

The Liberals proposed a southern O-Bahn at the 1997 election. It didn't go ahead because the cost estimate blew out from $70 million to $184 million. In today's dollars, it'd be much more, even discounting the number of underpasses/overpasses originally envisaged given the surrounding infrastructur...

I can guarantee that you will not be jamming 6-7 international students in one apartment. If it's anything like the rooms on 124 Waymouth Street, the entire apartments are about 4m x 4m including a kitchen and bathroom. Wouldn't even be enough room for a small desk. How you wouldn't feel claustroph...

Question... This is student accommodation right? Where will the students live... In the window seal?

That core is massive.

Yeah, and IIRC most apartments will jam in around 6-7 students.

Demolition in the northern zone (residential wings) was meant to start early this year. Though probably delayed by the pandemic, presumably it'll commence soon. Excited to see those ugly blocks torn down.

Is this the new Mitsubishi headquarters?

UniSA is in the best financial position of any of the South Australian universities, and one of the best nationally. They're so far still proceeding with scheduled pay rises and there are no plans to reduce core staffing for at least the next year, all while undertaking a massive academic restructur...

Then it would become clear the true cost of renwable power, and consumers would pay accordingly. At least then the renewable suppliers could be up for the cost of the backup equipment. Conveniently in your discussion of the 'true cost' of renewable power is the lack of consideration for the negativ...

Why should renewables subsidise gas? That's absurd to me, presupposing both the continuing cost of gas and the absence of other options? In any event, we (emphasised, because we own it) have an abundance of gas; it's only expensive because we haven't reserved it for our use first, exports second.

Most maddening, for a council that constantly cries poor, is that bikeway funding from the state government has been just sitting there and will now likely lapse.

'Tenders open for city concert hall but Govt wary on funding' as reported by InDaily Key quotes: The Government this month released an open public tender to develop an “initial scoping study” determining the viability and vision of the proposed venue. ... “The work will include consultation with ke...

Verschoor told InDaily that the council is responding to changing travel needs during the pandemic by supporting all forms of commuting, including cycling and public transport, but cited an incentive to drive as the only example. “As part of our planned response to protect the health and wellbeing ...

Well the transparent Tiser and government Are clearly at work to stop this project. Today it’s another negative article. People around Australia, wonder why nothing happens in SA; this is why! 🤦‍♂️( Behind paywall.) 204105A2-16F6-4285-A437-0059EBB1D5E4.jpeg https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south...
