[COM] Re: Adelaide Convention Centre - Stage 3 | $350m

Picture from yesterday for Mpol. From the left is the original layer then moving to the right there are 2 additional layers but as Llessur 2002 said hard to what the final colour is because there is a protective film on one layer. The orange mobile crane (right side) is working on the Play House ro...

[COM] Re: Memorial Drive upgrade

The entertainment centre is a great attraction in the Hindmarsh area and extends the vibrancy of the city down Port road (sort of). It would be a shame for the area if it was vacated from its current site to be amalgamated into this venue. This proposal for Memorial Drive, if it accommodates basket...

[VIS] Re: interstate passenger trains back to the Adel Railway Sta

There's honest no point unless passenger numbers pick up for all three interstate/cross country services, and this will only happen if high speed rail is linked between Adelaide and Melbourne, and the cost of the Ghan and India Pacific is dropped. If they could do these things and significantly impr...

[COM] Re: 11-27 Frome Street | ~115m & 70m | 35 & 20 Levels

Having worked in and out of the music industry now for four years (both here and in Melbourne), those of you saying 'it can be easily relocated' have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about, and it's highly likely that those same people have never actually been inside the Rhino Room. The lay...

[COM] Re: Memorial Drive upgrade

This is likely to have something to do with the Coalition really wanting the seat of Adelaide. $10m really isn't that much, hardly worth a vote, especially if these concepts plans are already in some kind of a pipeline. If these renders are what they're going by, though, It looks really small... I'd...

Well, that's me out. Fuck this development. I have more integrity than to simply froth at the mouth over yet another proposal for a 100m+ tall building in this city. To users such as ghs, I may come across as a whinging nanna or a member of the APPA but this is more than that; the character of these...

In the meantime over at the City East precinct the locals don't want a 27 level building because it would result in the demolition of the feral Rhino room. Get over yourself, ghs... Obviously you enjoy the idea of living in a sterile city; here's an idea, how about you relocate to Perth? You'll fit...

Not saying the rhino room shouldn't stay. But can someone explain why it's so important? I thought it was just a small bar/live music venue? Easily moved or replaced?

All of you seem to be forgetting that Rhino Room is located on this site... Whether or not this building stays, it's future as a live music venue is questionable due to noise complaints that will no-doubt come from any apartments built on this site. I can tell you all now, any such development impac...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but number 2 on that picture, the student accommodation building; isn't that being built on both the Elizabeth House site and the neighbouring site which Radio Adelaide are current in?

There's obviously a lot happening in the city in the way of development at the moment, but I've found wherever I am it doesn't appear that way from afar... Well, today I was driving past the new RAH site and if anyone is looking for an incredible vantage point of everything happening in Adelaide at ...

This one is going ahead. They are building a showroom on site for the apartment component to be opened in July. This doesn't necessarily mean it's going ahead, it still needs to sell the required amount of apartments. That said, they can market it as Adelaide's tallest residential development (at t...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Redevelopment | $800 million

The only problem with removing the mural is going to be the public outcry. I'd recommend the government work with local indigenous communities to find a suitable, modern replacement that can be incorporated into the overall design of the area. Perhaps a glass feature or even paved feature?
