It's embarrassing how long this derelict building has been allowed to stand in the heart of our CBD for.

Special thanks to Stephan Knoll for it.

Some more from tonight, 30 April. Shows recent progress, frontage and skyline/context impact. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240430/33e1a233b133bea8f740131894065430.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240430/78b15c635e03d9948b028b2d5dd17e38.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240430/64e1f8...

That massive carpark building

I'll call it: Malinauskas will intervene and this will not proceed.

Hey, if it means a critical local venue survives, I'm all for it.

At night.

I have written to Premier Malinauskas about using the 2036 bicentenary as the occasion to get a massive funding boost for the parklands. Let’s see what happens! Got this reply from the Premier’s office today: “Thank you for your email of 16 April 2024 to the Premier of South Australia, the Hon Pete...

Last week, Off Ya Tree on Hindley Street closed its doors without warning after 50 Years. https://www.reddit.com/r/Adelaide/comments/1c0dgk2/off_ya_tree_on_hindley_street_closing_down_today/ On the thread: Former manager here, hi! I stepped down last week to go to a new job and thank goodness I did...

Positively, I'm not confident this will eventuate. The sentiment is too strong.

It is politically dangerous too, especially with the Malinauskas Government wanting to be seen to be supporting the live music industry.

Agree, great outcome. Hoping for a renewal of the (old) underlying facade on Gawler Street.

Two quick ones from tonight.

Agree completely with all suggestions. Love the idea of new/expanded/more gardens, coordinated tree plantings and improvements to amenity. I do have a basic plan for a new/enhanced cycling route with grade separations across all roads. This would be incredible. 2036 is a great opportunity to realise...
