Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development
I guess everyone has different tastes, but I see it as something of "old" Adelaide standing in the midst of "new" Adelaide. Not in a good way. That typical beige/sandstone looking building that dominates the skyline from so many angles still. It's a monstrosity, the roof is a dis...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
It isn't difficult, we just need government to pull their finger out. Look at the engineering feats around the world, even in developing countries. A few new train lines aren't anything major. We’ve just go so used to nothing happening in this country that we think even the most basic infrastructur...

Re: Forum Etiquette
Unfortunately the level of discourse on these forums is at an all time low. Just about every thread or topic I open up is a slanging match between a minor cohort of the same users over and over again. There was a time when I used to look forward to logging on and reading what news, photos and updat...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Yeh we'll see... At what stage in the first quarter of the year? Because my first quarterly bill for 2024 which included January and February was higher then the previous quarter. Let's see if the next one in late May will be lower, or even higher. If I was a betting man, I'd wager it being higher. ...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 1 | 115m | 27 Levels | Office
On another note re this precinct....those gum trees in front of the festival centre!!?? Can anyone imagine large eucalypts in front of the Sydney opera house? Whilst everyone's entitled to an opinion, you can see from some responses why this state is the way it is. That landscape we're talking abou...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
To be honest, I cannot see a business case for urban rail to Virginia and Riverlea ever stacking up, despite being quite a large potential catchment area (40,000+ people). It would be an extension of about 16-17km which you would need to double-track to join it to the existing Gawler line. This is ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
no no, I wasn't mentioning politics. Adelaide Airport's director just specifically said he wants China Southern and Cathay back before any new routes. So we have to wait for the Chinese to come back before we let in United Airlines. I'm frustrated because United look eager to get into the Adelaide ...

Can the mods actually deal with this stupid off topic political crap that is 1000% not needed in this thread, before the two usual culprits spiral out of control?

2KW has not been "done over". There is no alternative rooftop bar being proposed that would hinder his business. The views are still there. They do not have exclusive rights to unobstructed views.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
Hardly a surprise. We had a government that gave China the finger, then sucked up to the US. It's hardly unreasonable for the Chinese to say: Ok, get US tourists then. In no way should we get bogged down in the politics of China vs the US. However, having made a decision to take sides, why expect C...

This is definitely not sensational. If anything, it needs to be set back further and retain the existing space for a live music venue. http://wp.indaily.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/1200x800_borg-cube-over-cranker.jpg?resize=1313,876&quality=90 It's a pretty low quality image, not sure wha...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
On the flipside, other than tourism the South Island of NZ has bugger all industry (unless you count sheep farming), and their GDP per capita is significantly below Australia's. Granted the scenery in that part of NZ is beautiful, but there's a finite number of tourists that can be accommodated for...
