Re: #PRO: Buckland Park Development

fabricator, Is there no facilities in Virginia for Milk, Bread and a paper. Would you yourself live in Buckland Park? Is it not ridiculous that they would build a settlement for 33,000 people and yet not ensure there were any transport facilities or shops or other things that we expect near our hom...

Re: #PRO: Buckland Park Development

Gidday, If I remember correctly a rail extension to Virginia is part of the 30 year plan for Adelaide. But I cannot remember if there was a date for it. Regarding flooding in this area, this can happen anywhere in Adelaide as I experienced in Salisbury East in the early 80's. The estate where I live...

Re: Government Inquiry Into a Barossa Passenger Service

It's not exactly easy as in just to send down a few trains. There's a few factors that have to be considered: The residents in the Barossa will have to pay more for car registration, as they lose their rural car rego concession Track usage will have to be discussed with other users (ie G&W) Ext...

Re: Government Inquiry Into a Barossa Passenger Service

Gidday, I was invited to attend the Rail Inquiry at Parliament house last Wednesday the 24th of June. It was a very interesting meeting with 8 to 10 people giving respones about a possible service to the Barossa. I certainly learnt a lot and some facts and figures that came out of the meeting are ce...

Re: Government Inquiry Into a Barossa Passenger Service

wilfy would be blowing his load over this Cruise, Nothing like that will happen. But I am very happy that Dennis Hood from the Family First party was able to find out how many reports have actually been carried out. Trans Adelaide actually did another survey at the Gawler Stations on the 2nd of thi...

Re: #H/D: Gawler East | 2500h | 219ha

C'mon Wilfy, we can do better than a park-n-ride. Developers should be made to pay for proper infrastructure if they want these developments, not lumping it on the taxpayer which will see things postponed for years. Delfin Lend Lease ought to fund a proper PT link to it, which can start with runnin...

Re: #PRO: Buckland Park Development

I agree with the Greens. This will be a car dependant bedroom community at best, and a ghetto at worse. AtD, It will only be car dependant if the SA Government do not build a branch line off the SG line which goes north to Crystal Brook. A U shape connection could be made into the northern end of t...
