Great to hear this is happening, I thought for sure that Crowne Plaza would have found some way to push back against it.

Just need to say bugger off to the lawyer NIMBYs now and get the East/West one built!

Where are the renders? If this is so close and they are demolishing are we almost at approvals? Have I missed something?

The link in the post before this one has more details, they aren't that far along yet.

I suspect demolition is more about ongoing security of the site.

It's wild how quickly that market has developed, when it was only a few years ago the former Federal government was dismissing the entire concept of battery storage as unrealistic in any form.

One good thing to come out of this is push back on façadism as a way of maintaining heritage. Wearing the old building as a skin, and gutting everything past 30cm deep has always felt like such a minimum effort approach, and implies that heritage is about what something looks like on the surface an...

Although rev has a pretty bad take, he's a radical pro-development so I'm not surprised. I attended the protest. Why? Well my first beer was had there... it was a coopers pale... yes I was under-age but still it has a beautiful place in my heart. Also, when I went through my emo phase, plenty of ba...

But if I was to protest, I certainly wouldn't chose to protest about some shitty run down pub that the owners are proposing to knock down and redevelop into something else. Yes, we're all well aware of the things you get emotionally invested in protesting. https://www.sensational-adelaide.com/forum...

What about a BOLD VISION and a parking tower?

500m tall, with car elevators putting cars into position. A gleaming beacon for all to see of the MIGHTY CARS authority over this city, a WORLD CLASS landmark to attract visitors from around the world.

To me, the bigger questions are why we would want commuter rail from these extreme outer suburbs and county towns to feed in to Adelaide City. If it's available, the "induced demand" argument will fill these outer suburbs with people intending to commute to Adelaide, then complaining abou...

:lol: people outraged at a proposed pub redevelopment to the point they're in the streets protesting in front of parliament, while there's actual issues like the cost of living crisis, people ending up homeless, kids going hungry, the mental health crisis, while hundreds of millions are thrown at w...

Massive turnout for the rally today.

The supports they just happened to surprisingly build strong enough for the tower they absolutely weren't planning from the start.

[A WHOLE HEAP OF ASPIRATIONAL STUFF] Looking at the size of the whole Riverlea development and how much as been built so far, it's easy to guess that most of the future homeowners are still at school now. We have the opportunity to help them recognise a "new normal" that is different than...

On another note re this precinct....those gum trees in front of the festival centre!!?? Can anyone imagine large eucalypts in front of the Sydney opera house? Trees in the park that give year round shade? The horror! I'm not opposed to trees in the park. Its just that given the prominence of the Fe...
