Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Rather than build new areas in outskirts of Adelaide I think we need to build up and encourage people to live in regional cities instead , for example Murray Bridge and Wallaroo. and how would you encourage people to live in those places?

Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments

Another pub (albeit not a great one) bites the dust to be turned into offices and "a cafe or restaurant or something like that". Still, hopefully the historic facade will be restored - the current building isn't particularly inspiring. From: https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/business/land-of...
