[PRO] Re: 1-8 North Terrace | 108m | 2 x 32 Levels | Apartments
Where's the line on private property and rights then? What, just to make some people feel better? At what point does it stop, when the council or state owns the property? Then you'll be paying that extra tax to keep it graffiti free every day. I see where you're coming from and you have a valid poi...

[PRO] Re: North Terrace/Morphett Street | Trinity City | ~105m | 27 Levels | Office
When I last built a house (1995), one of the council stipulations was that there could not be a tree within the same distance of the house as the tree's height. This meant that if the tree fell over from its base, it would not destroy the house. Once I had moved in, I could plant what I liked, where...

[PRO] Re: 292-300 Rundle Street | 68m | 21 Levels | Mixed Use
Personally I don't find it as being too tall, but I agree to an extent about preserving the 'character' of Rundle. The rear of the buildings fronting Rundle St should be the boundary where 'high rise' is allowed. This is a good idea, though in my humble opinion, the "hi-rise" in this area...

Re: News & Developments: Henley Beach & Grange
It builds up first at Point Malcolm where Semaphore Park bows out into the gulf. When it gets around that it builds up at the northern end of Largs Bay, where it is stopped by the southern revetment mount which forms the entrance to Outer Harbor. AFAIAA This is where it is collected from to get truc...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Are you disputing that the cost of electricity to the consumer has continued to go up, and is set to go up again in a few months? It's not me making that claim, its the regulator telling us the price is going to go up. Please don't view this as a dig at you, I'm just reasoning here. Although you ha...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Apparently South Australian costs are also higher due to a larger gap between average demand and peak demand in South Australia, compared to other regions in the NEM, which means that both the transmission and distribution infrastructure has to be large enough to handle significant peaks which occur...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
People cross roads all the time, often not at a controlled crossing, let alone a pedestrian overpass or underpass. If someone gets hit by a car, it's generally considered to be the fault of the pedestrian, not the driver of the car. But for some reason, if some idiot walks in front of a train, it's...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Somewhere in the last hundred years, we have gone from building new regional railways to removing almost all of them. I'm not sure how much of this is changes in available technology and how much is changes (deliberate or otherwise) in government policies. Victoria is upgrading and reopening some o...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker
Rail freight operators are expected to cover the full cost of maintaining the track and other infrastructure, but road freight operators do not have to bear the full cost of the road network. They actually do pay a lot indirectly. For example the amount of fuel they use means the amount of tax they...

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic
I assume a train-capable semi-trailer was considered too heavy for the ends of its journey. I believe this was the case. The strength of the trailer required to prevent the rest of the train from pulling it apart meant it was basically too heavy to be of value on the road. I imagine the issues with...
