Thank God sanity has prevailed with this one. It was excessively tall for the area.
The horse has already bolted with excessive high rise developments nearby Rundle Street to the west of Frome Road.
We should be preserving what's left of the character and heritage and streetscape as much as possible in the section between Frome Street and East Terrace.
The planning policies should be reviewed and be even stricter to be honest for this section.

Agreed. There are plenty of underdeveloped areas in the Adelaide CBD that would be suited to high-rise development - but this is not one of them.[Shuz] wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 1:17 pmThank God sanity has prevailed with this one. It was excessively tall for the area.

The zoning needs to be changed to prevent these proposals getting up. Corresponding changes could be made to permit greater heights in areas where doing so won't impact heritage streetscapes.

Personally I don't find it as being too tall, but I agree to an extent about preserving the 'character' of Rundle.[Shuz] wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 1:17 pmThank God sanity has prevailed with this one. It was excessively tall for the area.

The rear of the buildings fronting Rundle St should be the boundary where 'high rise' is allowed.

This is a good idea, though in my humble opinion, the "hi-rise" in this area (Frome St to East Tce) should be limited to 8 or 9 levels anyway.

Rumour on Triple M radio station this morning inferred that this has been relodged and is likely to be approved. The message conveyed was that it is going to be very high-end with apartments commencing at $4m each up to an extremely expensive penthouse.

So long as the design isn’t a pile of dog shit like the previous proposals and so long as the people who buy these aren’t nimby maggots
