I feel like Renewal SA got lazy with the delivery and loaded it with townhouses to speed it up. That was absolutely it. There were a few years where they really struggled to sell apartments (the failure of The Standard, and how long it took to sell 354), so they switched to 3 bedroom townhouses and...

The tracks are on a curve and trains are traveling at speed since most don't stop at North Adelaide station. Drivers can't see anything until it's too late. Ever since the previous fatality, trains have limited their speed around that curve (even if they're not stopping at North Adelaide), and usua...

Very sad news. But why that particular spot? The tracks are on a curve and trains are traveling at speed since most don't stop at North Adelaide station. Drivers can't see anything until it's too late. Ever since the previous fatality, trains have limited their speed around that curve (even if they...

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. Residents that were ha...

Apparently 2024 is some kind of reverse year. Adelaide City Council has committed to opposing all development in the parklands for 5 years, and the Adelaide Park Lands Association calling that unrealistic and wanting sporting facilities and clubrooms upgraded.

Can't wait for the SMA to jack up food and drink prices in a cost of living crisis yet again.

It's not hard to pack your own food, and have a beer before or after the game.

They're idiots. The quest to 'modernise' it has turned the Myer Centre facade into generic piece of crap. However, I remain grateful that Rundle Mall as a whole is so much better-looking and lively than it was years ago. Completely disagree. There’s nothing lovely about the current Rundle Mall. The...

Speaking of wasting energy, don't spend yours here. abc is not interested in arguing in good faith.

Painted concrete is almost always worse than leaving it raw. Might look cleaner for 6 months, but will very quickly look worse.

Elon Musk has some interesting thoughts I believe

That's definitely one way of putting it.

I appreciate the comments! I don't believe Barbara is still with Renewal SA, but I agree that she was really great for the community engagement. It's a shame that the reference group was disbanded and it was funny when talking with Renewal SA recently they were *shocked* when we said we feel that th...

Thanks Norman. It's encouraging that we've at least got some traction with it, having already met with RenewalSA (with another to come), and other residents being in contact with government. There's also been some follow up with Charles Sturt as well. I believe RenewalSA are taking the open letter s...

I can’t add my comments here now (about to step into a work Christmas lunch), but well, you can see some of my comments in the article. We’re pushing hard to get proper retail and services, needed for the promised walkable TOD, not just bars and cafes. https://indaily.com.au/news/local/2023/12/20/bo...

The active crossing at North Adelaide Station is apparently finally operational today. Only took 5 1/2 years and one death.
