But Opposition population spokeswoman Vickie Chapman said SA's population growth rate of 0.8 per cent over the past year was the second lowest growth rate of all the states and territories and lower than the national average growth rate of 1.3 per cent. But still, the rate is growing . You gotta st...

It comes down to what the land is zoned as, that the rail yards are on. If they're zoned as parkland, with the Railways given the rights to some of them (which I suspect is the case, but I could be wrong), then if the railways go from the area, it is supposed to revert to parkland. If the railways r...

I'm sure most of you will agree with me but the council wouldn't, I say screw those parklands. Its only a small chunk out of a massive chunk and plus we've got them all around the CDB and I'm sure clearing some trees for some concreate will save us some water :P . I think they have to do something ...

...Most people that visit crown are not there for the logies/brownlow or anything else (they are 1 night a year events) people that go to crown are people like you and i, for something to eat, look at whatever art display is happening in and around the foyer....the christmas displays, chinese new y...

... it would be better for the casino to be moved to a building of its own....Funny thing is, if the casino was to become something major in Adelaide (ie crown like, or skycity in Auckland) it would probably boost tourism...For some reason people that visit other places always check out casino's! I...

With regard to AAMI Stadium being out of date - it's only 30 years old, if that! Sure PT is an issue, but that does not mean scrap the stadium and build a new one - just improve the PT to the stadium. And Adelaide Oval - I would hate to see that go, which, if this new stadium is built and used for c...

The parklands are the biggest pieces of underutilised space in Adelaide, some are quite literally horse paddocks. Point taken, but better they be utilised as parks and community areas than as residential areas. As I stated earlier, once the first bit of parkland has been sold off for Hi-Rise, the p...

Paul Starrick of The Advertiser said: " No other capital city in Australia has such a large area of land so close to the city that has not been developed ," he said. "Property in Adelaide's CBD is confined and land values are spiralling. Surely the time has come to take a fresh look a...

i find adelade's easy, laid back lifestyle somewhat stimulating What position are you in now, if you are stimulated by a laid back lifestyle? :lol: :lol: Having said that, I find Adelaide's laid back lifestyle very enjoyable. I also think Adelaide has the best hot weather in the country. Hot and dr...

Why not other cities? Because they have built freeways or conventional busways because they have the space to spend. Because Light Rail is a more efficient way to move large groups of people than busses. Consider that a 3-car light rail vehicle can hold approx 5 busses worth of people (including st...

Thanks for posting these pictures Edgar. Much appreciated.

O-Bahn, I consider it a superior form of transport in many situations So superior that since Adelaide built it's O'Bahn nearly 30 years ago, not a single other city in the world has built one, and the only city that had one before Adelaide has or is dismantling theirs. If I'm wrong here, please fee...

Is that complex in the actually CBD?? ,or in the suburbs

Sounds like it is a CBD!

trams operating the whole way to Outer Harbor would be slow. Why? If they operate along the Port Road corridor, they would be restricted to the speed limit, but they could also operate express trams along the current rail corridor, with the added bonus of street running where necessary (eg through ...
