[COM] Re: U/C: Rundle Mall Redevelopment | $30m

Seems the Gawler Place canopy is not finished yet - it's getting a layer of glass on top of it which slightly protrudes over the ends. I can't attach a photo right now but will try to upload something when I get home - unless someone beats me to it. To be honest the thing's growing on me - agree the...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council

Have seen plenty of election posters up throughout the city but not one for Yarwood. Most of them, as previously mentioned, are for Haese and a few predictably lifeless ones for Hamilton. Is Yarwood running a particularly low-key campaign, or have I just missed them? Edit - just seen he was intervie...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council

Are there any decent candidates this year?, other than Yarwood. Doesn't seem so - it's so sad to think that some of the other candidates are stuck so far in the past. It's just plain selfish to hold back the development and progress of a city due to some idealistic 1960's utopian vision of how thin...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council

Mark Hamilton on Radio Adelaide this morning.

Makes for pretty depressing listening.

Re: Shared spaces

I love shared spaces - have seen some great examples in Europe and a really good example in my hometown of Brighton, UK: http://landezine.com/index.php/2011/04/new-road-by-landscape-projects-and-gehl-architects/ Since it has been implemented the whole area has changed - what was once a fairly dull t...

[APP] Re: PRO: Queen Adelaide Club | 83m | 21 levels | Mixed

I like it - if this and the Gawler Chambers development both go ahead then this will be a great addition to this part of the city. :D

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council

Shockingly awful piece of journalism by Peter Goers and shame on the Advertiser/Sunday Mail for publishing such sensationalist claptrap. I knew their standards were low but this really takes the biscuit. Good to see that the ACC have issued a response in The Australian: http://www.theaustralian.com....

Talk about dysfunctional.
I think it's more down to a couple of dysfunctional elements within the council. The anti-progress kind...

I am assuming that Cr Hamilton is aware that us City Residents vote the mayor in and many of us don't drive and park in the city ... http://m.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/adelaide-mayoral-candidate-mark-hamiltons-agenda-includes-taking-over-the-le-cornu-site-speeding-issues/story-fni6uo1...

Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development

change folks, embrace it! Ever consider our reliance on cars as unnatural? as a luxury? It's an addiction, there are other ways. Also agreed. It never fails to amaze me the amount of excuses I hear from friends as to why they “can’t” cycle to work who, in reality, are simply too lazy or cosseted to...

Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport

It's a shame the new Real-Time tracking isn't being given the praise, let alone the attention it rightfully deserves. Why is this true of so many initiatives? For example, the new/extended city free bus. I haven't heard anything about it other than through this forum and Adelaide Metro's website. T...
