Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments

That's a crazy underutilsation of the West Lakes land in a housing crisis. Waterfont and 10km from the city! But apparently the ample detached single storey character of the neighbourhood has to be protected? This government's attitude to development is not fit for the times. I was a resident of th...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

Read yeserday that local (and Australia's only) PV manufacturer Tindo Solar is pitching to build a solar panel gigafactory (i.e. Tesla scale) but is looking at sites in QLD and NSW. This would be far above their current SA capacity. Begs the question of why not expand here? Hope the SA government is...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Incl. 115m Tower | $800 million

To be honest, when I first saw the current configuration I actually thought it was an amphitheatre type outdoor event space... And they actually should turn it into one when they get rid of the ramps... That's what I presumed its intention was too. I do quite often see people sitting on the tiers l...

There’s some work happening to the building on site (windows have been removed, inside looked gutted). I couldn’t tell if it was the start of demolition, but perhaps this is finally underway. I think it might be for this: https://citymag.indaily.com.au/habits/plate-and-cup/sofia-hutt-st/ Oh, my bad...

Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development

It’s just a rehash of old news. Talks about the gpo, Mosley square and little national on north terrace but does not mention dates for any of them. It also mentions the Panaroma Hotel development at the former Tafe on Goodwood Road, which I somehow missed or forgot about. Can count that as the firs...

The government will spend another $34 million on the Festival Centre to upgrade its fire system to current standards, which inexplicably wasn't done when the Centre was closed for more than a year during the last upgrade. https://indaily.com.au/news/2023/12/21/ev-subsidy-axed-in-sa-budget-update/ O...

This refusal was appealed and apparently a compromise was settled between the proponent and the SCAP. Needs to be signed off by the ERD Court, and some Nimby's are still to be dismissed, but it seems this one will go ahead. https://indaily.com.au/news/local/2023/12/22/secret-agreement-to-revive-reje...

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

SuperBueno on Gouger Street and Fat Controller in Station Arcade are closing by year's end.

But on opposite ends, Aces will soon open in the former Optus on the corner of Monta St, and Station Arcade Club has opened in the long vacant former basement food court.

Thanks for the photos, Andy! It's a seriously impressive paving job. Wish Rundle Mall had got something more like this during its revamp. In saying that, from your photo looks like Walker got their way with fewer trees in front of the building entrance, thereby breaking the avenue planting: https://...
