[U/C] Re: Burnside Village (Extension)

Having grown up around Burnside Village in nearby Tusmore, I can tell you that the reason for the limited bus services in and around this pocket of metropolitan Adelaide is the superiority complex of its residents and the perception that public transport is dirty and for students and migrants only. ...

I hadn't seen this one before.

Would have been nice if that plaza envisaged in that render came to fruition.
What are we getting instead?
This but taller, no?

Re: News & Developments: Port Adelaide

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. Agreed. I've come across more interesting bridges in Singapore that have the same or...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

A decent newsagent, maybe incorporating a post office. A pharmacist. A bottle shop. Stores that sell stuff people want to pick up on their way home. This. I see a railway station in the same light as an airport, what do people need that is convenient to buy immediately before/after their commute? A...

Fuck Malinauskas. This stalling is entirely political, it's not pragmatic as he's trying to sell it. When have Labor ever cared about cost blowouts on government funded projects? They themselves are notorious for it, and even if it did blowout, they would no doubt revert the blame onto the former g...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Next plan should involve burying the tracks and have the concourse go deeper underground. Prep the station for underground rail, fast-track electrification of Outer Harbour/Port Dock. Then remediate the North Terrace frontage of the Convention Centre so that it actually has a North Terrace frontage.

[U/C] Re: Central Market Arcade Redevelopment | 130m | 39 levels

:( Yeah, imagine if we had a large public square in the centre of Adelaide! Maybe you could even add some more. Can you imagine if we had, like, 5 squares spread throughout the CBD? Maybe another one in North Adelaide for good measure? But, alas... you fail to see the difference between a public pla...

[PRO] Re: New Adelaide Aquatic Centre

I hate this proposal. The downscaling of the centre and the location make me wondering what kind of city planners the state government and ACC have working for them. This is the only rare instance where I believe we should be removing trees to ensure this is built at the end of O’Connell Street and ...

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/ I’m trying to understand why SAPOL have such strict requirements for the proximity ...

[U/C] Re: Central Market Arcade Redevelopment | 130m | 39 levels

The Hilton needs more happening around it at street level, the entire Grote Street frontage is wasted by a service vehicle entry and a side entrance stairwell usually occupied by rough sleepers. Also their signage is incredibly dated and need replacement. Pretty much the same for InterContinental, t...

[COM] Re: Memorial Drive upgrade

When Pelligra first purchased the site and there was talk of an upgrade, and the understanding was that despite any upgrades made it wouldn’t result in the 36ers playing games there again, but it would act as more of a community hub and training facility for the 36ers. As it is, the venue can’t host...
