Aqueducts exist for a reason too. Doesn't mean they are still required. Things evolve and change.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
the majority of people that use Adelaide Airport aren't wishing to travel into the CBD But once in the CBD it is so much easier to get anywhere else by public transport. That is why other airports in major cities have convenient airport links to their CBDs. Whenever I fly to Melbourne or Sydney, I ...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 1 | 115m | 27 Levels | Office
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 s...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Maybe this belongs in the Trams thread, but I don't really understand the push to put trams back down thoroughfares like Prospect Road, where they're just going to sit in traffic and get stuck at traffic lights, negating the benefit of building the line when it's still just as fast for people to dr...

[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? Trees in the park that give year round shade? The horror! The lower sections of the Festival Centre could do with covering up - they're not ...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Port Road is surely the most feasible location for a new depot. The government has just bought one large chunk of it, and has compulsory acquisition power for other parts (say, the former Coca Cola site). Get it done. I honestly can't see them using prime inner suburban land for a tram depot that c...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
Saying that someone is probably the extreme right member of federal parliament can also be construed as the furthest right. That's how I read it. ASIO might say that Extreme right is fanatical, but I don't believe we have any fanatics in our federal parliament.

[U/C] Re: Victoria Tower - 36 Grote Street | 123m | 35 levels | apartments
Aside from being a cool project, I love that this blocks the GDH building behind it. Hoping they can bulldoze it and build something special there #dreamsarefree I actually like the entrance to Grote St from Victoria Square, with the Hilton on the south side and the GHD on the north. The buildings ...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
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...

Re: The Federal Politics Thread
So do you believe that every new migrant is a doctor/builder/ childcare worker/ aged care worker etc? Can you tell us how many of each we need? And how many of each of the 500,000-600,000~ migrants in the last 12 months fall into those categories? Reality is most are unskilled/uneducated and end up...

Re: The Federal Politics Thread
Skilled migration for areas we say we are short of should be a net benefit - doctors, nurses, aged care, child care, building trades etc. Migrant visas can have conditions about living/working in areas of need/shortage. We can't force the current citizens/residents to move away from their friends, ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
The suburbs of northern Melbourne stop 22,23 kms north of the CBD but Adelaide seems to want to challenge Perth for the title of "Longest lowest density suburban sprawl in the world". Mickelham is are 40ish km away from the cbd. What decade are you getting this 22km figure from? South you...
