Piling has been underway at the new Port Adelaide Quest this week

I assume it would get turned in to a park rather than sold off. Cant imagine the site contamination would allow for a house to be built on it. Contaminated land probably doesn't make for a great park either. In many ways, medium to high density housing with minimal garden is a good way of dealing w...

What is the function of the big grey shed on the far east side by the botanic gardens ? (see pictures 1 and 3 of LLessor above).

Decontaimination tent. It's pressure sealed and surrounded by water misters to prevent toxic dust.

Asbestos is my understanding.

Demolition for the Marion/Cross Road overpasses is continuing, with the old service station on the corner of Marion/Cross being knocked down this afternoon. A number of houses to the North of the tram between Marion/Cross have been fenced off

Rewind 15 years and the site where this building and Building 1 stand was public space. It seems to ask why is public space being given up to a developer to build an office tower. Could the tower not be built on the site of the Riverside Centre? Or between the Intercontinental and North Terrace. The...

Stages 1A and 1B are the "boring" bits of the project for me. But at 400MW, the nameplate capacity is already 1/3 larger than the current largest wind farm! I'm more excited for the next stages and champing at the bit for that 900MW/1800MWh battery. Absolute game changer. 1A and 1B are fa...

This looks like it will be built where the existing bus interchange is? Have they said where this will be moved to?

Morphett Rd grade seperation may also form part of the project whilst the tram line is closed Can confirm Morphett Road grade separation has been scrapped. It's still showing on the DIT website, although details are very scarce. When was it announced that it had been scrapped? Traffic flow at Morph...

Stage 2 is 600MW wind and 600MW solar. But the game changer is a battery delivering 900MWh for 2 hours at a time. Say whatever ...

Demolition works for the Quest 2 Hotel are underway.

All well and good. But like many ponds put in estates they soon get neglected.

More likely to be a glorified stormwater detention basin rather than a proper landscaped pond.

Am I missing something here? How in the hell is this costing $35m? I can only imagine... The need to use small equipment because larger machines don't fit past the trees, and the need to prop up an operating tramway while removing the structural integrity provided by the arches? The tramway will be...

Landlord special is about right. Absolutely ludicrous decision.

How many trees are being removed (or have already been removed) for the North-South Corridor? Removing trees for roads is fine, but for active transport and improved accessibility to public transport, it's not okay?

Grenfell Street crane to come down on the 25th Feb. Botanic high not long after. Nothing new planned in the CBD that I can think of. Maybe Hutt Street and East Terrace although both are small enough they could be done with mobile cranes. kings head appears to be on hold. 17 Hutt St will have a towe...

Piling here will be starting soon-ish. Not sure on exact timelines but expect this to ramp up in the near future.

My source who told me this in September yesterday told me that works here were 'months away'.

Might be time to get a better source for this project..
