Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development
This. Aside from a clean the only work that needs doing is removing the square background behind the logo (completely unnecessary), and better resolving the ground level on both sides to better connect to North Tce and the riverbank. Completely agree - it's grown on me massively over the years and ...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 1 | 115m | 27 Levels | Office
I personally love the number of native trees in areas like this, for an area trying to attract tourists and visitors it's so very Australian. There's a real level of cultural cringe some people seem to have, wanting things to look like a European city. We're Australia, should play that up. But the ...

Whilst I don't have an issue with those gum trees, from historical pictures I've seen it appears the northern edge of Elder Park along the Torrens used to be lined with London Plane trees - perhaps as late as the 1970s/80s. I presume they were removed when the path was widened which is a bit of a sh...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail
Whilst I really loved the original building I decided to reserve judgement on the Myer Centre upgrade until it was complete as, in general, I've found some of the more initially controversial proposals over the years have actually turned out OK in the grand scheme of things (the Yugo student buildin...

The police horses have been relocated and site clearance has started. I think the cycle safety centre closes in a couple of weeks: https://i.imgur.com/tI5pBrG.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/CuxBBuB.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/LtnyLPL.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/2umyjB2.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/JbbBVi6.jpeg

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
if you move house, or upgrade your solar system or add batteries etc, the tariff ends. Realistically though, how would they know if you replaced panels like for like and kept the capacity of the system the same? The inverter's a different story as that, I think, needs to be registered and the new o...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Some of the older and therefore smaller systems are on fixed feed-in rates for the life of the system (or at least for a very long time i.e. 10+ years - I'm not 100% sure of the specifics). My boss has a 10 or so year old 5kw system on his roof that he's currently still getting 40c/kwh for. My under...

Re: News & Developments: Port Adelaide
the trouble with woolies is no matter how big their stores are there's so little choice of anything... they'll just use the extra space as in store warehouse This is why I don't really like shopping at Brickworks - it takes twice as long to get round and there's always stuff I can't get. For exampl...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
No matter what the reasons for higher retail prices are, it's not because renewables are more expensive to install. They are cheaper and faster to deploy. The only coal plants being built worldwide are either by governments or guaranteed by taxpayers. The private sector won't touch them unless ther...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
To be fair there are valid questions here - if prices are going up (which they generally have been markedly in recent years) then what's the cause? Is it directly related to a rise in wholesale prices? If so, what's cause of that? Global events, the transition to non-coal based fuels, something else...
