Returning LeFevre Terrace to it's original alignment with Main North Road would never happen. Could you imagine the uproar from every single one of the residents living along there? Not to mention the Parklands Preservation Society kicking up a stank about turning parklands over to a road!

So it's approved, but this being Adelaide, what are the chances that it still doesn't get up?

Incredibly low given the Mason's are retaining more than 50% controlling interest and this is key to their plan to secure their charity giving well into the future whilst preserving their own history ...

There was a small fire on the brush fence on the Eastern property line on North Terrace today at about 4:05 pm.

I didn't get a photo, I was passing by on a bus.

A photo like that reminds you just how damn flat the Adelaide Plains really are.


From the end of the airport runway.



it's an airport FFS... would you rather it be on the side of a hill?

the only reason you can see 88 O'Connell Street from there so prominently is because of the elevation ...

Random thought from when I was walking through the mall just after the shops had closed and needed a toilet... Wasn't part of the deal with this site getting the old public bathrooms for their building that they had to provide new publicly accessible bathrooms?

The bathrooms they've built in the ...

With the oval at Lyndoch Park being upgraded for Gather Round 2025 and future events, seems like the perfect time to reinstate the Barossa rail line that runs right alongside the grounds.

If they can't get the museum idea off the ground I'd love to see a new performing arts aspect built into these double-height floors! retractable tiered seating, green rooms and dressing facilities. Could be a new modern performance space promoting and fostering South Australian talent. I ...

Just over 10 years since this thread and the first concept design was posted here. Certainly very different!


I count 27 levels, should be over the 100m mark! Nice design too!

Walking past last night, it looks like they're doing soil remediation in the southeast corner due to asbestos. Yellow caution tape that may or may not say asbestos on it (dark, didn't ...

Does it beat the former Southern Cross Arcade site?

Scrap on-street parking down O'Connell. There's what, 100 car parks at the most? Probably less because of current bus stops and laneways and entrances. Trams run down the existing parking lanes and have the stops directly onto the footpaths. The benefit is that the buses can use the same stops and O ...
