[U/C] Re: 145-159 King William Street (GPO) | 60m~ | 15 Levels | M

I don't mind it - I'm not offended by it. But I'm not blown away with it by any means. I agree that in such a prominent position something spectacular should be built here and I'm not convinced the current design could be classed as 'spectacular'.

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

what are you a diety? I have long suspected this to be the case. But seriously mate, surely we all have an obligation to ensure our actions on the road (or elsewhere) ultimately don't end up cutting the life short of some poor bugger who was just minding their own business. Whether you want to call...

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

I look forward to the day you get a fine because one of the roads you travel on every day has changed its limit and the only notification is on the sign you pass everyday while on "auto pilot". If you think this system is fair then you would not have an issue with the fine and blame yours...

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

I rarely drive these days since I live and work in the CBD but virtually without fail even on short trips I STILL see: - people blatantly using their mobiles while driving (and often their car meandering across the lane) - people who fail to indicate / pull out recklessly instead of giving way for ...

Re: News & Discussion: Road Issues & Traffic Congestion

They're there because there's far far too many people—especially on the freeway—who don't drive to conditions. Sorry mate but I have to agree with this. As a driver it's your responsibility to drive in accordance with road rules and speed limits - regardless of whether you think they are appropriat...

Not sure if it belongs in this thread or not but there was an article on The Australian website on 9th October (which I read at the time but for some reason can't access now as I'm 'not a subscriber') reporting that the University of Adelaide is planning to sell its Thebarton campus to fund this dev...

Look at the details of the remediation by Cordell: completed 2005 cost $250,000. I can only find a summary - have you managed to find any details about what was done back in 2005 - what the former use of the site was, what the source and extent of contamination was, what remedial action was taken e...
