It looks like earthworks started this week for the Blakeview store in Blakes Crossing estate.

From what I heard, the Moon Lantern Parade crowd was over three times the size they had anticipated. Since the previous two had been rained out, they had no experience of a crowd spilling out from Adelaide Oval and "sticking around", but even that influx is not sufficient for the increase ...

In April 2014 the government formally opted for the NBN to provide a multi-technology mix rather than be predominantly FttH. Under the new scheme, FttH will connect 26% of premises by 2020, while a further 44% will be served by FttN – using the VDSL technology – and the remaining 30% of will receiv...

Why are new submarines seen as Employment or Industry policy? Why aren't they seen as Defence Capability where the driver for decision is "what does Defence need, and what is the best way to get it?" instead of "What industry and employment policy does South Australia want, and what m...

You know what doesn't make sense? That northbound offramp from the NC onto Bolivar Road. How bloody windy does the road need to be? Within a year a truck will roll on that exit, taking bets now Interesting traffic design dilemma - is it better to make winding road so that an inadequate and inattent...

There is a path planned along the route. Well I hope it gets built. Too often the first thing to be cut to try to manage a budget is the bike/ pedestrian infrastructure :wallbash: It would inspire more confidence if the flythrough video included the shared path. At least they didn't include bikes o...

I'd love to see as part of this road project a dedicated seperated bicycle path from Port Adelaide to Salisbury to remove cyclists from this route. Its just not safe with trucks doing 90-100 passing cyclists doing 20-30. if the trailer is fishtailing even a little, the cyclist will get creamed. The...

There's also been an addition. Bolivar Road will have both inbound and outbound ramps. Are you sure? The version of the video and map I can see only shows Adelaide-facing ramps at Bolivar Road. I did notice this morning that they rushed out the video to Youtube. The first version showed a pile of d...

IIRC current modelling showed that the freight rail line wasn't needed for the next 30-50 years. I guess that depends what "need" is being measured. If the "need" is to reduce the interstate freight at level crossings and through residential neighbourhoods between Dry Creek and ...

Why has there been almost no public comment about the fact that, as of right now, GW has ceased operating trains to Loxton and Pinnaroo. As of Aug 2015 all wheat will transported by road to Tailem Bend then reloaded and railed to Port Adelaide. How can this be more efficient? GW then expects the lo...

Rather than OTR taking over every nook and cranny of South Australia's service station business and squashing any remaining independent servos both in Adelaide and regional SA, why don't they expand into interstate markets and shake things up with the bigger companies like 7-Eleven? OR do they only...

If the Government had any brain they'd retain some for a Barossa Passenger train, and convert the rest to Standard guage to run Spencer Gulf services. I don't know what the ruling grade is on the Barossa line, but I believe that loaded 2000-class can't make the climb to Belair, so suspect they woul...

Thank you. It will be interesting to see how long until election campaigns focus on a new railway line or other road upgrades. I live and work in the northern suburbs (but lived south in the distant past), so it could be factor of when I travel, but I tend to experience a relatively higher proportio...

@Aiden, you have certainly put a lot of work into your alternate design. Well done. A question that has puzzled me about all the plans for upgrading South Road/North-South Corridor is how these works will impact wider. You've considered commuter traffic and Marion Road, but what about freight traffi...

I Guess OTR/Peregrine hasn't seen enough demand yet. Not sure if anyone else would be likely to try to build one in SA. Who runs them interstate?
