Re: News & Developments: Port Adelaide

Has there been any updates on the former Harbours Building? Its looking worse everytime I see it with more windows boarded up. I hope it still gets the "1970's hotel" treatment that was originally proposed many years ago.

I'll reserve judgement until i see what they have done to the inside of the GPO. If its been whitewashed or gutted, zero stars.

Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments

I live in a 1950's double brick home and don't often need heating or cooling until days like today (41 degrees). However, I noticed the house behind us (built approx. 5 years ago with a dark grey tiled roof) has their cooling doing almost 24/7 during summer. I'd hate to think what their elec bill wo...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail

Who ever approved this "upgrade" should be fired. Absolutely awful in every regard. I don't think even some tacky LED accent lights can help here.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Those offices and cleaning rooms cause a bit of a bottle neck when getting off a train on Platforms 8 and 9 especially when multiple trains pull in at once. I still feel that the railway station needs way more love and attention to attempt to restore it closer to what it would have been like origina...

Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development

Those window frames are aluminium - they will outlast mankind.
I am not a fan of the random "fins" though. They serve no purpose and look stupid. But at least its an improvement over that horrid orange whatever that was plastered all over the building previously.

I've always been told that the new station would be an island platform with the metro trains on the non-museum side and the NRM trains on the other but that plan only shows one track into the platform....

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail

Oh geez that new facade of the Myer centre looks shockingly boring. Why is everyone so obsessed with grey these days? Back in the 1950's through to the 70's, colour was everywhere. Now, its all grey, black and white. Very depressing.

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn

You would think they would install some shade sails or protection up on that top level. That would be like an oven in summer

Does anyone know if the GPO bells will ever chime again? I can understand if they stop them at night but what about during the day? I can't remember the last time I heard either of the GPO or Town Hall bells chime and I work on Waymouth St just behind the GPO so surely I would hear either of them go...

[U/C] Re: WEST (Football Park) | Developments & News

Definitely no space there to host football games now with the stands and car parking long gone. I am pretty sure the land next to the Mosaic is just used as a car park at the moment so would be good to see something built there. But then again, that poses the issue of that whole precinct not having ...

If i was a betting man, i would bet that it will just be paved over and made into more parking.

Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development

What is actually happening to No 1 KWS? I really hated the previous cladding and those hideous orange awning things. Should have left it original in my eyes - the marble cladding was gorgeous.
