People complaining about Perth getting huge infrastructure upgrades are failing to understand that the 787 Dreamliners can fly non-stop from Perth to London, Rome & a number of other potential European capitals, all of which are too far from Adelaide to reach safely. With these upgrades, a trip...

That "Price Conversion Chart" is ridiculous. 100 yen is $0.96, but in-store? $3.30! That 0.96 is the spot price. It differs in banks and exchanges. And what the heck is Daiso? When did they creep in? They have like two dozen stores around Australia, 2 here in Adelaide? And no fanfare, med...

If only they didn't pander to whiny residents when there was a "high rise" development on the cards, but hey at least this is a start for that local council.

Good on the government for now strongly attempting to get rid of it. To be fair, the tourism department has been trying to shake it for decades (the instruction to not use it has been part of media kits for a long time). It just doesn't die due to lazy interstate journalists. I think one way to sha...

I wonder if/hope this development does spur on some other 'high rise' around North Adelaide, along the rest of O'Connell and Jeffcott and around Wellington Square. Think such developments would highly appeal to city office workers, would probably help fast track the tram extension up O'Connell and e...

I don't have any data at the moment to back it up, but I thought most of those migrants would be international students commencing or resuming their studies in Australia post-Covid, merely making up the ones we lost. I'll have a bit more of a dig into the data when I can. From the ABS.. Key statist...

Migration is a big part of rising house prices and rents, but not the only factor. The issue with immigration/housing at the moment is with housing costs so high, including rent, housing stocks being so low that we are in a deficit, is that with all those issues making it extremely difficult for pe...

Blaming money imo is on par with the big country town mentality. Our state debt ratio is relatively low still. Next to no government, anywhere in the world, pays for large infrastructure out of their own pockets. It's borrowed money, debt. Obviously lets not run up a state debt like Victoria has, b...

Ahh, never change, Adelaide: A government spokesperson responded: “The State Government is not currently investigating a rail link between Adelaide Airport and the city, and has no plans to do so.” Big Country Town Mentality. Go to line isn't it chilli. Used multiple times now on the tram thread an...

Weird, I'm pretty sure it was for 399.
edit - ah my bad, or the SAPLAN site's bad, dropped the pin close to the boundary indicated on the map and it picked up that neighbouring property.

Recent activity people have seen possibly nothing?

Transit-oriented developments are (finally) back on the cards. Housing Minister Nick Champion wants apartment towers at public transport hubs It is believed three suburbs could be first in line in Nick Champion’s plan to push ahead with a “farsighted” strategy for high-density apartment towers that...

When do we go back to talking about the airport? When people stop feeding the troll. Easier to put them on ignore and let them starve... Back onto the airport, they're currently building a new ground level carpark opposite Bunnings and Ikea. It's a reasonably large area. Apparently this will replac...

Running a train up there for events such as the Supercars weekend, would be a good test to see if it's going to be utilized at all. I'm sure some local may decide to jump on the train and head into Adelaide for example that weekend and come back, depending on how often it would be running on those d...

It's 120 homes across the three developments... The problem with opening the railway station for The Overland is what would make it cost-effective? There must be some cost in just slowing the weight of the train down to stop and getting it going again. There's also the cost that (assuming it's most...
