Have there been any details released on the size and number of pools in the new centre?

Ah, found it:

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...

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...

Pelligra, Veriu partner in $30m Adelaide office conversion for serviced apartments Serviced apartment operator Veriu will open its first hotel in Adelaide as part of a $30m transformation of one of the city’s largest vacant office buildings. https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/0252886b1e234d4999...

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...

Have there been any details released on the size and number of pools in the new centre? I hadn't stepped foot into the existing Aquatic Centre until the kids started swimming lessons and was surprised at the scale - it's actually a really good set up and the building itself is pretty impressive. It ...

Why not Lefevre Park / Nantu Wama, where there are already horse paddocks? At least "government owned" horses are better than privately owned ones on public land. I'm a bit surprised that this hasn't been floated already - I can only presume that even proposing to do anything in this area...

But as their Park 21 proposal showed, what SAPOL want is not just a field; it's buildings, offices, storerooms, carparking, big security fencing. And once that stuff is built, it is incredibly hard – and in the case of the current Thebarton Barracks, politically unpopular – to remove. It's not real...

Since rapid deployment isn't a priority, I don't see why they can't be staged at Gepps Cross. It just sounds like SAPOL doesn't want to have to load/unload and stage them – which is not a good enough reason to use Park Lands space. Spare Park 27 so that, if not rehabilitated into a more natural lan...

Considering this is a $135M infrastructure project I'm not sure it belongs in the parklands thread, so have created a new one. Feel free to merge it, I'm never sure what the rules are around this stuff... Here's an article from the Advertiser yesterday: State government unveils concept designs for t...

Part 27 is one of the most “natural” of all the parklands - about as bad a choice as Park 21 in that regard: https://indaily.com.au/news/2023/08/07/not-optimal-commissioners-frustration-over-police-horse-relocation/ The sloped banks of the Torrens are natural but the rest of the park is a pretty un...

Property Council figures show 17 per cent of CBD office space vacant The rate of empty offices in the CBD has jumped to its highest level since the late 1990s, as a wave of new developments pile more pressure on the city’s ageing buildings.

Great idea, but I can't help feeling they could have done something slightly more exciting from an architectural perspective. This one looks like it's been designed specifically to complement the Birkenhead Bridge.

A couple of ones from this morning showing the podium treatment in Ursus' photo above from a distance.
