I wouldn't get too excited guys. Michael Harbison has been trying to get through a blanket height limit increase of a few levels... so no, we won't be seeing 45 storey resi's

Seriously, we're talking one or two storeys.

Looks to me like they're in the consultation phase of a PAR process, which is basically a move to ammend the local development regulations to allow it to be approved. Don't hold your breath though - PAR's are signed off by locally elected councillors. We know that Mayor Harbison is relatively on sid...

I talked to Pants about this, and this is what i've pieced together: The first proposal was 26 storeys. I spoke personally with the planner at Planning SA who denied approval. I can't remember the numbers, but he wanted it chopped to about 9 levels or thereabouts (the height limit was 6 levels). The...

This may sound weird, or everyone will pass me off as being drunk again, but it's got to be said:

The cone shaped entrance, combined with the pseudo brick pattern of the facade (especially from the back), has the Wizard Of Id written all over it!

The link to the forum from the front page's side menu is broken

Here's an idea I usually get when browsing construction threads: Can this site have its own photo gallery section for construction photos?

Interesting stuff. I actually liked the old design, as it went okay with the building across the street (What an old gem that one is). Will be interesting how this new one fits in.

I rate this building 3.5 horns out of 5.

re: second last pic: I remember I had about a couple of hours before I was going to catch up with you. I was at uni, looked out the window, absolutely pissing down beyond belief. I remember thinking to myself "I've been giving this bloke shit about Melbourne's weather for a year, now look what ...

I think the boundary of this tower is pretty much in line with the new Advertiser building's southern edge. Can you confirm, Pikey?

Estimated cost of Tram Barn redevelopment is only $5 million, so I don't think we'll be getting that 18 storey building we hoped for!

Austadiums was hacked 2 weeks ago.

First Austadiums gets hacked, now ssc.

I'm bad luck!

Someone on SS forums said something like the glass doesn't seem to look as saturated in color as the rendering... of course it wouldn't but looks really dull compared to the first render. Even so... love all that glass!!! thanks for the pics pikey! This may seem like an obvious comment, but i'd res...
