From The Advertiser:
City development to be approved
July 09, 2009
PLANS to build a 13-storey office block in Light Square are expected to be approved tonight despite complaints from Adelaide City Council.
The council's Development Assessment Panel last month voted against the plans, arguing the building was 5.1m over its 40m limit.
The State Government's Development Assessment Commission, which has the power of approval for city developments costing more than $10 million, will discuss the plans tonight.

Hot off the press... Paul reports that this development has been approved. And that they have started the process of documentation so that construction can commence asap.

It sends a pretty damning message to the buffoons at the council.

Apart from approving it, I actually think they should have increased the height a little before approving. Nothing too crazy, maybe about 5 extra floors to make the prominent corner location even more prominent... still good news nonetheless. Do I remember hearing that something might be built on the other (West) side of Light Square?

Agreed. Christ we need some density on that side of the city.

So is this now an 18lvl proposal? Can anyone confirm this?

Just looking at the original render, I reckon it's going to look unreal when it's done. Some people may not agree with me, but I think the facade has something organic about it. Can't wait to see an updated render.. how about it Paul?

Tindall Gask Bentley Lawyers, the current tenants of the existing building. They've committed to 80% of the new building.

Good to hear, I wasn't sure if this was another project that gets approved and stalls, or if it was already commited to by a tenant.
