Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
On the flipside, other than tourism the South Island of NZ has bugger all industry (unless you count sheep farming), and their GDP per capita is significantly below Australia's. Granted the scenery in that part of NZ is beautiful, but there's a finite number of tourists that can be accommodated for ...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
I posted this last week but wasn't very clear. In it, United talk about their 150 x 787 orders, and while Adelaide isn't specifically mentioned, it does say this: “There is a lot of potential [about Australia / NZ],” he said. “I’m not going to comment on specifics, but we absolutely have a lot of po...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
While not mentioned directly, United have orders for 150 x 787's they're looking to utilise in the medium term:

[PRO] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 2 | 149m | 38 Levels | Office
Festival Towers 1 & 2 will have very limited parking, are very close (as close as you can get) to the railway station that all lines in Adelaide feed into, is close to the tram stop, bus stops, people can walk or cycle or walk along the river. It will be six star energy rated, and companies movi...

Loving this, for lots of reasons. Building higher along North Terrace creates a wonderful vista when looking from the river, and especially when flying into Adelaide from the east, with a row of tall(ish) buildings separated by the older buildings of North Terrace, and greenery along the river. It a...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
As someone with family in the South Island of NZ the one on this list that really annoys me is the lack of direct connection to Christchurch. Air NZ, Virgin or Qantas could do it easily with a new A320 or 737 if they wanted to, and a direct flight would turn a direct trip between Adelaide and Christ...

Save the Cranker firing into action. You heard it here first.

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Basically what we've discovered is that if you have roads A, B and C that run north-south through the western suburbs of a city, and connect new expressways to the northern and southern ends of road B, that road approaches capacity very quickly. It shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise to an...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
If not for having to allow for ships and submarines in and out of Port Adelaide, it would be really easy to get a train from Outer Harbor to Two Wells, via Buckland Park, Riverlea Park and Port Gawler. It could use a lot of the existing heritage tram right of way down to the St Kilda. Something I've...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
To be fair DIT have initiated a level crossing removal project across SA, but based on the current prioritisation the initial locations are to the north of the city: https://www.dit.sa.gov.au/infrastructure/road_projects/Level_Crossing_Removal_Planning_Program. There's also the Marion / Cross Road i...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Of course the Victorians are eating our lunch. Their capital is about the same distance away from Mount Gambier as Adelaide, but is four times bigger. Victoria's Gross State Product is also roughly four times SA's. They also have large population centres like Portland and Warnambool much closer than...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
This is my point though - nobody even wants to engage in a debate on the pro's and con's of the various options suggested by the Infrastructure Australia review. Residents of the hills could be making a huge fuss right now about the state of Glen Osmond Road - asking why there isn't tidal flow as su...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
I don't disagree on investing in public transport, but if we're spending $6billion on something, surely there are higher priority tickets than a rail tunnel to the hills? Short term priorities should include a CBD underground loop so we can increase patronage on current rail lines, and extending rai...

Various posts on this thread have touched on this topic previously, but at a high level, what's with the obsession with heavy rail returning to Mount Barker? The current and well known issue is the existing track alignment, creating travel times that cannot compete with the freeway. To make it a fai...

Uniqlo Marion "opening Autumn" confirmed on their FB. Good result for Adelaide to have two stores now, the city store is always busy anytime I'm there, and I hope do well at Marion.
