Re: #Redevelopment - Port Adelaide Waterfront $1.2billion
Have you been to Newport Quays, aka Ethelton? As I said, the area's very quiet. Glanville Station could possibly support such things once the high rises are built, but Ethelton Station couldn't. They’re both right on top of each other, so it couldn’t happen at both. In a car dominated city this...

Re: Concepts for Cheltenham on show
Remember this will be a 10-20 year process. I agree upgrading the train network should be the govt's 1st transport priority. To have an effective public transport system you need medium to high density development around public transport nodes. Density can then decrease as you get further away from ...

Re: Concepts for Cheltenham on show
Cruise Control, industry is deserting the area opening up large tracts of land perfect for medium to high density mixed use infill. There is a potential for 20-30,000 more people in the vicinity which would more than adequately support both tram & train services. The tram would replace existing ...

Re: #Redevelopment - Port Adelaide Waterfront $1.2billion
2nd to last photo in Adam's set: If they had allowed space around the train station for a single depth of commercial usage they could have sold the townhouses for more money because it would have blocked out the train noise. Construct over the train line you could get a couple of hundred extra apart...

Re: Project: $1.5bn Wakefield Waters Development
I didn't know it was possible to have a waterfront block of land in Pt Wakefield unless you built in the sea outside the mangroves.

Re: Concepts for Cheltenham on show
Most of the places being built on the fringes now have no useable outdoor space and have dark cramped rooms but waste 400m2 of land to achieve it. They could have the same or more amenity in a 60's inner city unit and they would have a better quality of construction thrown in for free. A mixture of ...

[COM] Re: What next for Victoria Square?
Great work Dragonfly. Finally some night time activity on Victoria Square.
It would be great to see the treatment provided to that corner of the square applied to the 2 corners on the eastern side of the square.

The latest case is a "stakeholder" [a street behind] stopping a beachfront development as they may loose their view. In this case, Aurora on Pirie was decided by some dumb-ass councillors [more "stakeholders"] with no formal planning experience. HGIH I understand that the one co...

Re: Concepts for Cheltenham on show
Most of the Mawson lakes houses are dark coloured tuscan inspired cardboard with low levels of insulation and no roof overhang. Combine this with a location that is only fit for low-level agriculture or industry and you have an environmental disaster. I've worked on projects in the desert which use ...

Re: Concepts for Cheltenham on show
I'd be keen for no low density housing whatsoever. Mawson Lakes has shown us that project home builders are incapable of delivering energy and space efficient homes. (Mawson Lakes was set up to be an energy efficient showcase suburb but electricity use per dwelling is significantly higher than the A...

[COM] Re: What next for Victoria Square?
Good plan bulldozer.
This would really boost development around the centre of the city (where it should be).
Having used the Sydney monorail I must say they are the most useless form of public transport available. They also destroy the public spaces they pass through.

Re: Seacliff development rejected - do you have a right to your
This is a very dangerous precedent and will be used by all types of NIMBY's. As I have stated before on this site the time to change the rules of a development plan is when they come up for a review as part of the regular PAR process. If you have bought a property which has the potential to be built...
