What are the consequences of Neoen being "exempted from holding a licence for the transmission line"? What would be the consequence of it not being exempted? Is ESCOSA supporting the needs of SA electricity consumers, or supporting foreign investment (if they are not aligned)? Presumably ...

Every shop owner should just call themselves a convenience store like OTR and get the same privileges.

It's great that they're doing something useful with the site, but I hate to see all that plastic packaging used when there are alternatives.

The article mentions Melbourne has transponders on the trams to keep traffic lights green. That's something sorely needed here since the trams are always getting held up at red lights.

I was thinking near Wudinna. As far as I can tell, that is the western end of the Electranet transmission network. Further west would be 66kV SA Power Networks. The line to Wudinna is 132kV single circuit from Yadnarie substation (west of Cleve), which has recently been upgraded to have double 132k...

I'd like to see a large solar farm on marginal land near the western extremity of the network to help with the summer afternoon peak. That would likely need several substation upgrades as the power would flow in the opposite direction, but the farm could be scaled to only produce what the transmiss...

A new line connecting: West Lakes Shopping Centre Grange Railway Station Henley Square Harbour Town Adelaide Airport Mile End Homemaker Centre Central Market/Chinatown Rundle Mall/Pulteney Street The Parade Norwood Burnside Village https://srkb.net/img/eastwest.png Until 1957, the Grange line exten...

Adopting a skip-stop pattern for Grange/Outer Harbor/Grange and Flinders/Seaford will achieve a similar thing. For example, Grange trains could stop at Adelaide, Bowden, West Croydon, Woodville Park, Woodville, while Outer Harbor trains stop at Adelaide, Bowden, Croydon, Kilkenny, Woodville. Flinder...

Moonta St, Gawler Pl connecting to Rundle Mall, and Bank street have the same design as this one with the road at the same height. Have not felt that any of those were unsafe, much the opposite really. Moonta St is a pedestrian mall with no traffic, Gawler place North is a dead end with no traffic....

Luigi Rossi was on 5AA this morning and discussed rail services to Mt Barker with the trial apparently happening soon, and services beyond to Tailem Bend, as well as Strathalbyn, Victor Harbor, Riverlea and Angle Vale.

With the Talgo trains?

$700 million seems too little to rebuild and regauge the 700 km or so long network. If they want to connect it to Whyalla, that would add another 150 km and the connection itself would be over $700 million. Iron Road has mentioned they might connect their mine to Whyalla by rail. If that happens, th...

Unless they buy back the poles and wires, it won't make a difference. Poles and wires are a monopoly, there's no easy money to make in the other stuff.

Are there plans to host any games for the Brisbane 2032 Olympics? A few soccer games were played there for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Kate Cocks Park and the park between Gaol Road and the railway are owned by SAPOL. So even though it's not "park lands", most of the land this new hospital will be built on is currently parks. One of the oversights in reporting on this is that these parks are not considered "park land...
