Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

The ACC need to once and for all just declare the current site will be demolished and a new ‘suburban pool’ in the same format as Payneham, Norwood or Burnside as examples, be built in its place to serve ACC ratepayers. The ACC is not there to fund ratepayers from other councils because their own co...

Re: Adelaide Oval news and events

The Indian Test Captain has come out and said he will likely support a Day Night Test, and says if it happens, Adelaide would be his preferred location. If this is true, this will be a major win for Adelaide in the upcoming Indian tour 2020/21, as Perth & Brisbane will have to fight out the othe...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

I think the North Course should be closed and the focus should be on ensuring the South Course is maintained with extra focus on being a premium course into the future. If parts of the SE corner of the South Course are required (yet to be determined), for an expanded sports precinct, then ensure the...

Re: News & Discussion : New Restaurants, Bars & Night Clubs

Keeping in theme of the general 1920’s style of the Railway Station, looks good.

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

Another parklands battle could be brewing in the background. The North Adelaide Golf Course/Club expenses are exceeding its revenue by approx. M$1 annually – the deficit being picked up ACC ratepayers in the same manner as the Aquatic Centre yearly deficit. There was supposed to be a Masterplan that...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

As most on here already know, the line has been in the spotlight for some time, and it’s obvious how it’s come to this. The Grange line was built originally as the Henley Beach line in the 1890’s – a time when ‘seaside holidays’ were in their prime and in high demand for Henley, Semaphore & Glen...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

Cutting to the chase what does the forum think the actual outcome will be at the end of this? Does the forum think the critics are more vocal and pro-active and will succeed or is the AFC and it's supporter base too strong/powerful and will get their way? To me it all kind of feels like deja-vu wit...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

As people from the council areas of Prospect, Walkerville & Charles Sturt seem to be the most vocal about keeping the Aquatic Centre as is, maybe their councils should contribute to the ongoing running costs? Or ACC could charge double the entry price to cover the current losses? For the politi...

Re: News & Discussion: Other Transport Projects

The positives out of this: The study reinforces a need for a NS MW to SE FW connection – that should be added to Infrastructure SA’s list of priorities and now be part of the NS MW project planning. If trucks are carrying more of the freight, that further supports the argument for a continual duplic...
