Why does the thread title state $50 million as the project cost? News reports are still travelling with the original $30 million figure.

I don't like paying tolls either (always avoid them when I go interstate) but as long as there is a choice I see it it's the most fair option. Think about it: why should people who don't have/use a car pay for freeways? Why should folks in Wudinna finance more free flowing traffic across the metro ...

Guys, keep in mind David is talking about the 'remainder of the square mile' not already covered by the State Government’s Capital City DPA. So even Rau and his govt mates have 'fenced off' certain areas from high rise. So you can jump up and down, rant & rave, and hold your breath, but it will...

oh my, just rode into town and noticed the scaffolding was gone from Peel Chambers on Peel Street. What an absolutely stunning old building has been uncovered. The yucky greenish paint is gone and the most beautiful old brickwork has been exposed. Now one of the most elegant, old, important buildin...

Thanks for the photos Xara. The plaza is shaping up to be seriously impressive.

I completely agree that that should be considered. One of the things I don't feel was ever properly address in the redevelopment master plan was the connection to the river from North Terrace; your solution would certainly does.

I wonder what remains to be done before the glass goes up? I'm so eager to see it externally complete it feels like it's taking foreverrr!

I bet we don't even get palm trees in Rundle Mall after all this fuss and palava. Incredible! Wot Well to me it goes without saying that an open mall of this type needs Palm trees along it.

Will still be a magnificent improvement on what's there, so let's hope this proposal maintains momentum.
