One of the key reasons federal Labor allowed for record high levels of migration over the last two years has been to prevent a recession occurring. Whilst the government was successful in avoiding recession, it has led to a huge shortfall in housing stock and unsustainable prices as abc and others ...

In response to the above, I meant via extending it beyond Port Dock, and connecting it to the OH line somewhere near Peterhead. The current alignment via Commercial Rd and Ethelton would be closed. A new station near Glanville could be built. The issue is it creates a second short working on a line...

They’re sadly mistaken if they think a hypothetical rural train service from Port Augusta is going to run through Elizabeth enroute to Adelaide….. Exactly. Salisbury has far better geography for becoming the hub of the northern suburbs and second CBD of Adelaide than Elizabeth does. Elizabeth's CBD...

So a dogleg is removed, but a new signalised intersection will replace it at Price Street. So there will still be two intersections within 270 metres, plus Furness Ave a short distance south. This might need to go back to the drawing board. Yes, that was my thinking too. Perhaps the Price St lights...

Thought I would start a general thread for development in Norwood & Kent Town - its becoming an important area for infill, but the developments are scattered over a number of threads, despite most of them not being of a scale to warrant their own threads. The Osmond apartment project at 82 Osmon...

False economy of road freight....how do you get your goods, by magic carpet? I'm shocked it's cheaper to go an hour from Mt Gambier to Portland then it is to go four-five hours to Adelaide. Who would have thought. It's cheaper to go anywhere in Victoria from Mt Gambier on the Vline coach services n...

$6b on a rail tunnel wouldn't be just to the Hills/Mt Barker - it would be beyond, potentially opening up the whole south-east of SA to viable passenger rail. If we can spend $15b for an unsustainable 10km hole in the ground to benefit the false economy of road freight, then $6b is petty cash for a...

Considering that Balhannah and Hahndorf are at very similar elevations above sea level, that is a very steep railway from Bridgewater to Hahndorf. Bridgewater is at approximately 400m above sea level, and Hahndorf is at approximately 350m. The proposed alignment is at a minimum 5000m between the tw...

Rail access to Hahndorf actually makes a lot of sense, so long as it is part of a bigger project to connect Mount Barker. The fact is that Hahndorf is a major tourist destination, and the flow of people to and from the town are far in excess of what you would expect considering its relatively small...

Hmmm - Tom im pretty sure that Mt Barker is not within Metropolitan Adelaide For all intents and purposes, it is, though. It should be a fast train and should be going to Stirling, Harndorf, Mt Barker, Monarto and Murray Bridge. There's no way you're going to get a train to Hahndorf mate! Ultimatel...

I feel like Renewal SA got lazy with the delivery and loaded it with townhouses to speed it up. That was absolutely it. There were a few years where they really struggled to sell apartments (the failure of The Standard, and how long it took to sell 354), so they switched to 3 bedroom townhouses and...

I appreciate the comments! I don't believe Barbara is still with Renewal SA, but I agree that she was really great for the community engagement. It's a shame that the reference group was disbanded and it was funny when talking with Renewal SA recently they were *shocked* when we said we feel that t...

https://indaily.com.au/news/2023/03/29/rally-planned-as-tide-turns-on-new-henley-beach-sand/ Should be as simple as removing them. Let the natural flow of the sand and tides restore the beaches naturally. This just seems to be a problem that's getting worse as the years go by. Glenelg, West Beach, ...

This one is directly opposite the park and is the most important remaining site due to both size and location. Here you can see the prominence of the site https://www.sentinelcorp.com/blog/2023/03/28/sentinel-to-deliver-south-australias-first-institutional-build-to-rent-community/. Once this has a ...

We're in an urgent rush now to build infrastructure because our governments have had a policy of mass migration with record numbers for the better part of this century so far. We reached near record numbers in the last financial year. While on top of that largely neglecting our infrastructure parti...
