Might be a capacity issue for the actual aeroplanes in relation to scheduling that's available? Is United able to fly into Adelaide from an Australian federal government (or whatever department/agency within government) at the moment? ie the whole Qatar debacle. Not sure with United, but aircraft (...

Seems to be adding 3 indoor courts, a bunch of outdoor ones on what used to be used as a car park and a new gym/office space out the back. I can't see the 36ers moving games back there (except preseason matches or the odd double booking at the Entertainment Centre) when there's even less parking an...

I thought the 3000 series were already diesel-electric? Believe so, seems they're adding regenerative braking and some batteries rather than relying solely on the diesel engine to power the electric motor. Makes sense considering the stop/start nature of the Outer Harbor/Grange lines and the amount...

Never said anything about grand slams, or capacity. I'm talking about the overall upgrade. It's mediocre, at best. There was a proposal, or vision perhaps, for a new stadium built in it's place. Instead our government of the time wanted to build a white elephant across the river so gave us a patch ...

New concept design for Majors Road after community consultation. https://dit.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0013/1124104/Majors-Road-Concept-Design-With-Road-Corridor-01.jpg Early works to commence late 2022, completion expected by the end of 2025. https://dit.sa.gov.au/infrastructure/road_projects/m...

Interesting hypothesis, but maybe the Liberals need to think of better proposals in future. I don't think there would have been any serious detraction to a full upgrade of Hindmarsh, especially as the cost would be nowhere near that of their Riverbank Arena plan. I don't see the use case for an upg...

Qatar is currently flying a second daily flight which is detouring to and from Adelaide after arriving in Melbourne, however it doesn't appear to be taking passengers from Adelaide. I believe this is a temporary compliance arrangement for Qatar until it goes back to the planned Doha-Melbourne-Canbe...

Just out of interest, which international flights are there from Adelaide these days ?

Is it only Doha and Singapore?

Also Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Fiji and Auckland.

Well Marshall did propose a $600 million "basketball stadium", but the ppl voted. Can't see anything better getting floated in the next 3 and a bit years :| Yeh well, there was also the vision for this stadium to be completely redeveloped, but you know, Mr Marshall didn't like that idea, ...

Isn't Thebarton the headquarters and home of the SAAFL (amateur league) where the finals / grand finals are played for that competition. If so, where will they relocate to? Word is the amateur league will move to Campbelltown and the SANFL (the head tenant at the moment) will move their umpire and ...

FB_IMG_1646306258547.jpg Nee stadium for Tassie if the AFL grants them an AFL license. 27,000 capacity. AFL sized stadium, obviously. What are they proposing here for nearly $700 million that's for sports that use playing areas not even half an AFL oval? Gold plated toilets? Tassie's new stadium wi...

Why couldn't we have just bulldozed the old one and built a fantastic world-class venue instead of such a band-aid solution? It's an eyesore. It is far from an eyesore. How can you even say that when it isn’t even finished yet? I think It will turn out to be great. Perhaps an exaggeration from me, ...

The second issue, which ties into the first one, is that there is a proposal from during the Labor government years, to redevelop Memorial Drive properly. The Liberal state government has ignored that, spent tens of millions on a mediocre minor upgrade instead, and plans to spend 3/4 of a billion o...

The Gawler commuters are coping with the line being closed for that long. I'm sure the southern suburbs commuters can cope too. It will give them a more frequent opportunity to observe the construction work on the North-South Motorway too. :banana: Noarlunga/Seaford commuters did for 3 out of 5 yea...
