[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...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
So let me get this straight, Mount Barker has a population of 40,000 and the state government have rebuked every suggestion of an electrified rail service to the centre, meanwhile Kouts is talking out of his arse about a possible rail service to Riverlea, so long as the population of the area grows...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Considering that Balhannah and Hahndorf are at very similar elevations above sea level, that is a very steep railway from Bridgewater to Hahndorf.

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
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...

Not far off, and a park-and-ride at Ambleside may be good for passengers from Balhannah, Oakbank , Woodside and even Lobethal areas, if the service is fast enough.SBD wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 1:50 pmThe former Ambleside railway station was about 3km from the centre of Hahndorf, so not quite to Hahndorf, but not far off.

There's no way you're going to get a train to Hahndorf mate!ozisnowman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 12:14 pmIt should be a fast train and should be going to Stirling, Harndorf, Mt Barker, Monarto and Murray Bridge.
