[PRO] Re: Masonic Lodge | 183m | 37 Levels | Mixed Use

Good on the government for now strongly attempting to get rid of it. To be fair, the tourism department has been trying to shake it for decades (the instruction to not use it has been part of media kits for a long time). It just doesn't die due to lazy interstate journalists. I think one way to sha...

[U/C] Re: 88 O'Connell Street | 63m | 13, 13 and 15 Levels | Mixed Use

I wonder if/hope this development does spur on some other 'high rise' around North Adelaide, along the rest of O'Connell and Jeffcott and around Wellington Square. Think such developments would highly appeal to city office workers, would probably help fast track the tram extension up O'Connell and e...

Re: The Housing Crisis

I don't have any data at the moment to back it up, but I thought most of those migrants would be international students commencing or resuming their studies in Australia post-Covid, merely making up the ones we lost. I'll have a bit more of a dig into the data when I can. From the ABS.. Key statist...

Re: The Housing Crisis

Migration is a big part of rising house prices and rents, but not the only factor. The issue with immigration/housing at the moment is with housing costs so high, including rent, housing stocks being so low that we are in a deficit, is that with all those issues making it extremely difficult for pe...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Blaming money imo is on par with the big country town mentality. Our state debt ratio is relatively low still. Next to no government, anywhere in the world, pays for large infrastructure out of their own pockets. It's borrowed money, debt. Obviously lets not run up a state debt like Victoria has, b...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Ahh, never change, Adelaide: A government spokesperson responded: “The State Government is not currently investigating a rail link between Adelaide Airport and the city, and has no plans to do so.” Big Country Town Mentality. Go to line isn't it chilli. Used multiple times now on the tram thread an...

Weird, I'm pretty sure it was for 399.
edit - ah my bad, or the SAPLAN site's bad, dropped the pin close to the boundary indicated on the map and it picked up that neighbouring property.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines

When do we go back to talking about the airport? When people stop feeding the troll. Easier to put them on ignore and let them starve... Back onto the airport, they're currently building a new ground level carpark opposite Bunnings and Ikea. It's a reasonably large area. Apparently this will replac...

Re: Riverland & Mallee | Developments & News

Running a train up there for events such as the Supercars weekend, would be a good test to see if it's going to be utilized at all. I'm sure some local may decide to jump on the train and head into Adelaide for example that weekend and come back, depending on how often it would be running on those d...

Re: Riverland & Mallee | Developments & News

It's 120 homes across the three developments... The problem with opening the railway station for The Overland is what would make it cost-effective? There must be some cost in just slowing the weight of the train down to stop and getting it going again. There's also the cost that (assuming it's most...
