The Newmarket corner was considered, at least it was by previous governments, it is already owned by another developer and would have cost them a lot of money to buy it or a lot of good will to forcibly acquire it.

Best available spot is over part of the railyards between the RAH and the river

Kouts was on ABC 891 this morning talking about the NS corridor. Key points were that the reference design is due to be released by the end of the year, there will still be tunnels, and the main amendments to the design are around the tunnel exits - with the priorities being James Congdon Drive, Ri...

At least it's nowhere near any places that will be forced to close at 5pm or cease trading due to noise complaints, always the worry when Boomerstan Republic towers go up.

An embarrassing waste of time for Mali and the state. I'm puzzled I haven't heard any comment about why they needed an American company to review the decision to accept a Victorian company over a South Australian sporting team (with Victorian backing I think). It's a bit of hyperbole or clickbait r...

If Adelaide gets an underground CBD railway, the plan for the tunnel entrance is that it will be in the gap between the university buildings to the north of the City West tram stop. It will be easiest if the stations are above ground because underground stations are incredibly expensive. Melbourne ...

There was a rumour that MAB were pulling out of the process as a result of their plans to sell

Half measures are after all the long time calling card of the SA Liberal party

Given there's no residential and basically no commercial anywhere near enough to the construction site to complain about disruptions, I'm expecting this to happen fairly quickly.

So what about the hundreds of buses that go further than TTP? Are they a waste of time? Is the state government turning the Obahn into a park'n'ride to the the north eastern suburbs? Should all buses just terminate at TTP? What should be done if the ridership falls off a cliff past TTP? A new multi...

Some of the play/street furniture and sculptures are nice, but why is the shared path greenway along the train line needlessly windy? For bike commuters it's an annoying hassle. It's why so many avoid the Westside Bikeway. Probably to maximise the number of existing trees that can be retained. I im...

Except the MAB proposal wasn't really all that dense given the amount of land being put over to more unnecessary retail and a questionable hotel No, the area definitely needs retail (that isn't within Plant 4). There's way too many things you have to unfortunately jump in a car and drive elsewhere ...

What I don't get is there's plenty of space to kick a footy — you don't need a full size oval unless you're playing a full 18 per side game. Josiah Mitton Reserve, Tarband Avenue Reserve, Albert Greenshields Reserve, and Thomas Harkness Reserve have sufficient room. Even somewhere like Emu Park has...

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, ...

This, the inquiry into the MAB decision at former gasworks and the blocking of Westfield's push for paid parking at Tea Tree Plaza are all dangerous examples of this Govts attitude that private contracts can be torn up on a whim. It sends a very poor message for would-be private organisations or in...
