The State Government pulled the pin on the Commonwealth Games bid a few months ago, now they have pulled the pin on the option to host a Bledisloe Cup at AO. Two significant events not worthy of AO or tourism benefit to SA, in their estimation. On top of the SMA failing to secure the return of EPL, ...

Just regarding the Perth's place in the pantheon for cricket: 'Perth's WACA Ground is no place for Test cricket in 2020, as laptops melt and spectators sizzle' as reported by ABC News Basically argues Optus Stadium has not won over fans (yet) but there's no turning back to WACA. Choice quote for th...

Hardly recognise Adelaide in that photo - loving the foreground and background combo! And to think that the previous labor government preferred to waste money on a motorsport festival and a pathetic fashion festival which nobody cared about. Off topic but as you mentioned motor racing, let’s not fo...

A medium-term option has been considered to remove The Overland as a standalone service and extend The Ghan as a full service to a Melbourne-Darwin route. Long term, if an Adelaide rail bypass is ever built, is an option to run The Ghan on the bypass around Adelaide & no longer into it), & m...

I’ve said all this before over recent months in these forums, so I will brief. Adelaide Oval redevelopment is the best thing that has happened since the Formula One GP was held here. AO redevelopment date is great for Stage One, but in my opinion (and there are plenty who share this view behind the ...

A couple of months back I raised the concern about Adelaide Oval slipping down the pecking order and was the for the most part howled down on this forum. No-one denied that other cities were getting events, the debate was entirely over whether Adelaide simply having more seats would have made a lic...

A couple of months back I raised the concern about Adelaide Oval slipping down the pecking order and was the for the most part howled down on this forum. Among my examples I asked why the SMA hadn’t negotiated with CA to lock in Adelaide with a permanent day/night annual Test match slot, and I also ...

So the rumour mill was correct - now publicly announced - Hassell architects plan to wind down their Adelaide office - greener fields and all that... Doesn't do much for development confidence when an 80 year presence pulls the plug locally so they can concentrate on the big stuff elsewhere. Hassell...

You can always submit your ideas to Infrastructure SA… Bear in mind some of the basic parameters I think you will find they are looking at, and unlikely to change in their planning, include: The proposed CBD underground rail loop that allows through running with the three proposed stations – Adelaid...

With proper design, only one house (#1 Devonport Tce - marked yellow in attached), might have to go, to make way for the Torrens Rd overpass and associated ramping + earthworks. Overall that would be a good result, if practical to do so. Other changes, such as Ovingham Station, shouldn't impact on o...

Photo of the CBD skyline taken by a real estate agent - for an apartment for sale @ Bowden.

The Australia Post site was listed for sale yesterday. At just under 18,000 sqm it is the largest CBD site to be offered to the market. This is a massive opportunity for Adelaide. Hopefully there is some grand thinking by whoever the purchaser ends up being. Interesting - only yesterday an article ...

I've added a snapshot from the relevant page of the 1949 Adelaide Street Directory FYI (note Twelfth St is now Hawker St)- regarding my last post.
