[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)

Bit of a crazy thought, but what if the site set aside for the innovation centre were to become a Contemporary Art Gallery instead, therefore satisfying all parties involved re: Tarrkarri moving ahead. At this stage, the surrounding area is not benefitting from the severe lack of activity and the i...

Why is the north face slightly different in the top-right corner?
Because the glass is angled differently in that section:

Here's a couple more from Friday from a slightly different angle:

a fiscally responsible labor government and the true believers are leaving in their droves :lol: It is completely possible for a government/party to be fiscally responsible without abandoning long-term aspirations and visions around what makes a city more livable. The former doesn't bother me, the ...

Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments

I feel like them getting booted for a term has rattled them and they're playing their cards closer to their chest, as opposed to announcing grand plans like AdeLINK. I don't think the whole economic/inflation/cost of living situation is helping either, when their going to be spending $10 billion on...

Re: News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments

It is going to be painful to watch the next 3 years (or longer...) of this government. I've been a Labour/Labor voter forever and I'm thoroughly underwhelmed to be honest. The Gather Round was a nice coup, and I do believe Mali played a big role in securing it but other than that I'm finding it dif...

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)

The more I think about it the more I think an expansion of the botanic garden would be a nice outcome for the site, or at least a good portion of it. Something that softens the boundary of the garden with North Terrace and also contains a significant attraction such as a treetop walkway (akin to the...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Fill the retail spaces with something - anything - that is going to be useful to commuters or draw people in. That was pretty much my point. What would work in the station environment? I can only think of a supermarket or similar or potentially another food & drink offering. Maybe a specialty r...

[PRO] Re: New Adelaide Aquatic Centre | $135M

There are two accessible/family change rooms right at the very end of the centre near where the creche is. We used to use them when my son was younger, but learnt to not try and go there as soon as his lesson finished as there would be a (very slow moving) line. Best to have a bit more of a swim in...

[PRO] Re: New Adelaide Aquatic Centre | $135M

The only thing I want are change rooms that don't require a long walk from the pool through the entry foyer with the cold air blowing in every time someone comes through the doors, whilst navigating a crowd of people standing around waiting for a birthday party to be set up. Likewise - the changing...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Wasn't there an issue with the roof leaking a month or so ago? Not in that retail tenancy which is just the ground floor/basement of the main station/casino building - the (multiple) leaks are dotted around the platform/turnstyle area underneath the convention centre. The tradies were in the larges...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

The challenge for those retail spaces in incorporating a supermarket would be how to deliver stock to the stores. Are there any road access points nearby that wouldn't need extensive demolition? Coincidentally there were tradies in there this morning measuring up. No idea what for, might just be an...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

A small Coles, Woolworths or IGA in the Adelaide Railway Station concourse area I'm really hoping this is what eventually happens to the larger retail space which is still vacant - I can't see that it wouldn't do a great trade and would be so convenient for picking a few bits up on the way home. It...
