Re: MATS Plan - Available Now

What is the different outcome from a plan that isn't followed and a plan that doesn't exist? As far as I can see the creation of the MATS plan was a waste of time and money. That's a good question, but actually There's an enormous difference, for two reasons: Firstly there were bits of the MATS Pla...

Well it took six weeks, but they did eventually reply: Hi Aidan Thank you for your email. Please refer to the responses to your questions below. Conspicuously absent was any mention of option zero (keeping the WCH in its current location). Did you neglect to consider it? The original Business Case i...

I've sent them the following email: Having read your site review report,a few issues stand out: • Conspicuously absent was any mention of option zero (keeping the WCH in its current location). Did you neglect to consider it? • Option 1 scored poorly because of lack of opportunities to extend the RAH...

Im in favour of rotating the whole runway a few degrees anti clockwise https://i.imgur.com/TbbDIl1.jpg Billions in cost, negligible benefits, Glenelg residents livid! ‘Tis a non starter. The only change to our airport runway configuration that will ever be needed is a short parallel runway on the n...

There are many lyell mc workers that are commuting between Lyell McEwin and Modbury at night , cos there is no direct bus route at night between the two places mentioned.
How many, and why are they doing so?

[PRO] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

The best way to minimise impact on the park is to stick to the current alignment and look at other options to increase capacity or travel options. If impact on the park were the only factor considered, that would be true. But there are other important considerations. A direct route would be signifi...

…Hence my submission didn't include a line on a map, but rather a recommendation to work with NPWS to determine how to minimise the impact on the park.

[PRO] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upg

At one stage I also felt that this direct route would be the best way to go but have since been convinced otherwise. I believe they would be unlikely to build a new section of road where Victor Harbor Rd would get the majority of benefit over Main South Rd especially considering south of where they...

[PRO] Re: Keswick World Park (incl. Emergency Services HQ)

Can anyone tell me more about the northern building of the Emergency Services HQ? All I’ve been able to find out so far is that it's for vehicles and equipment.
How much did it cost? What kind of footings does it have? And what are the tanks on the eastern side used for?

Edwards Park (was: Why all the netball courts?)

Every single court is filled on a friday night. Drive past for a look next time. I've now discovered that this is not so - those netball courts in Edwards Park (between Anzac Highway and the cemetery) have been disused for the last twenty years. So netball is very popular, but not that popular! Wer...

Re: Tunnel under the airport ASAP!

So you're against the NSM because that does a pretty good job of dividing up communities. DTEI/DPTI/DIT should have taken a lot more care not to divide up communities. For example between Regency Road and Torrens Road, all they're providing is a footbridge at Pym Street. If they did their job prope...
