Mr Morrison said his South Australian colleagues had made sure the North-South Corridor was at the top of the agenda for the Federal Budget. “This investment is about getting Australians home sooner and safer. I want people to spend less time in traffic and more time doing what’s important to them,...

In another thread someone mentioned that the Rundle/Pulteney U-Park could be getting close to its end of life in a decade or so. Seems like a perfect spot for an underground station and if they building has to be knocked down anyway would make the excavation a lot easier!

The market is not not being redeveloped just the area where coles and the arcade is. In this image it certainly looks to me like the underground supermarket is under the current market. https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/83718484914a27b3e3916ca7db394092 I’m confused ... isn’t that new promenade...

I wonder where the current stalllholders would go while the market is redeveloped? Simply having the central market disappear for a couple of years would be awful.

Yes under current regulation shops are able to open from 12:01am Monday - Friday but need to close at 9pm. Few shops open at this time due to lack of demand. It is similar to how most shops still close at 5:30 other than the supermarkets who open till 9. It would make it easier if they were just gi...

Why can't we have something like that in Adelaide?

Give it time Adelaide too will be heading towards becoming a world class city one day.

I very much doubt Adelaide will ever have a skyline like Melbourne, and that's okay.

The site doesn't seem like it would be big enough for a decent aquatic center. The site looks to be about half the size of the North Parklands aquatic centre (without parking). The swimming pool would need to be upstairs from the diving pool (or vice versa). Either way would make for some "int...

On the topic of Victoria square, this weekend the opera 'Carmen' will be on there. It's a joke that the tour
down under and the state opera can use Victoria square but then the Fringe or RCC can't.

There's a big difference between a weekend event and something lasting weeks on end.

Whatever the Indigenous gallery becomes, it needs to be led by Indigenous people so it doesn't end up another staid museum for the white gaze. In my view, as a non-indigenous person, I think people would like to visit an institution that celebrates Aboriginal Australia as an ancient but continuous ...

Is a rectangular stadium the best use of that land in the long term? Bearing in mind it's right next to our prime health and medical/research/teaching precinct, the future Women's and Children's Hospital as well as the convention center. Is it not likely that one of these may require extension in t...

Is there even enough room over the marshalling yards to build a stadium or will it slightly encroach on the parklands?

It would encroach a little onto existing parklands, but if they are building over the lines there it should be possible to return an equal amount of public space as that removed.

[...] I think there is a seriously strong argument to make for Rundle Street becoming a one way street at this point to vastly increase the amount of outside space for eateries. From Frome Road to East Tce I say make it a one lane one way street and try and bring more year long liveliness to the ar...

As long as passengers hop in my taxi, its good This is a good point. Not only do the festivals bring life to the city they also generate a good income for cab drivers, hospitality workers, security guards, etc. What amazes me is how the city can be so vibrant for these four weeks but then the vibra...
