I'm starting to get the impression the glass on the upper levels may not have a blue tint and may rather be clear or maybe a light smoke. The blue in the renders could be merely depicting reflection of the sky. I have no real idea though. :mrgreen: Yes I was actually wondering the same thing. Simil...

I've heard US$23.7 million is the average. Factoring in circuits with deals going back many years (which would have smaller deals), I dare say the cost of a new circuit, or a new deal, to be much higher.

I do believe though, that one of FOTA's demands was that the fee for hosting races be brought down in an effort to make ticket prices much more affordable.

The reason Melbourne would not factor in to the breakaway series, would be because of an exclusive deal with the FIA - they'd simply be contractually bound to not host a rival series. I would absolutely love for "F1" to return to Adelaide, but there would be concern on whether the street c...

The render was completely un-realistic. The building looks very different. That said, when they added the brown/copper colour to the western wall, it made the green glass look much better.

David has kindly passed on the development plan, which includes that current bicycle parking provisions (adopted in 2006). For residential buildings - it's 1 for every dwelling/apartment with a total floor area less than 150 square metres; 2 for every dwelling/apartment with a total floor area great...

It's something I have brought up with the strata, but was told that even though the issue has come up a few times, they never relax by-laws (or seems, even question them). They'll mention something to the management committee but "space is a premium". The insinuation is why can't I just do...

Oh wow. Do you know when those requirements were brought in fast_forward? My building is 4 years old, so still relatively new - but maybe not new enough.

And thanks AtD, good idea to ask David. I'll send him an email or message about it.

I could dream of 8 bike racks. I'm on Halifax St, and our apartments have 0 bike racks (and a by-law prohibiting taking bikes into your apartment, as well as in the lift or in any common space barring the carpark). Which is my reason for asking this. (I'm sure there's a minimum requirement for new a...

I remember there being talk in a thread a while ago about the requirements for bicycle storage in new city residential developments, but can't for the life of me find it (Search hasn't help). Does anyone recall where it was (or at least, know the requirements)? Cheers. (Mods: feel free to move the t...

I hope that's not the case. It could be being revised, as they do have projects that did not proceed in their portfolio (meaning whether it is on the site or not isn't necessary an indicator of it's status).

But how many people would realistically need to go from the far south to the far north of the city? I'd imagine it would be a small minority - certainly not enough to justify a direct line in between.

I was actually quite annoyed during a recent trip to Melbourne, to find that they haven't added their tram network to Google Maps yet, and had to go to the tourist information centre in Fed Square to work out which one I needed to catch. Buy a Melway, it's valuable for many more reasons too 8) I sh...

One area where Adelaide is doing quite well is in using google maps for public transport journey planning. Forget about jnomad, install google maps mobile (or get an android or iphone) and journey planning is at your fingertips anywhere where you are (and you have 3g) Definitely. I've come to rely ...

I thought something was up when I went past the lantern last week: AN INTERSTATE computing expert is being flown into Adelaide to fix "bugs" that jammed the $2 million Rundle Lantern in the middle of Fringe celebrations. The Lantern was opened in October as the "the city's new cultura...
