I dont think the casino would be able to hold a 27st hotel tower - but im probley wrong

In someways I would rather see the hyatt stay on its lonesome because thats what makes it stand out from the torrens

The proposal to put a tower on the casino has been around since 1996-7. I doubt it will ever go ahead, as it would ruin the Adelaide Railway Station.

Hello everybody, I have created this thread to discuss development news from the ACC which do not warrant a separate thread. This is like the low to mid rise development thread.

I'll start by discussing the happenings of the July 3 ACC DAP meeting.


*After being knocked backed a few weeks ago due to it being considered ugly, the new design for the plaza of the Grenfell Centre were approved. The new design will involve the creation of 2 new retail tenacies fronting Grenfell Street. The new retail tenancies will be glass cubes, made from see-trough glass so as not to diminish the strong imposing symmetry of the Grenfell Centre. The development will also include the creation of a new underground carpark for 30 cars, as well as a new lobby for the building.

This development has been compared to the glass pyrammid at the Louvre in Paris!


*The LED screen for the City Cross Arcade was also given planning approval. The LED screen will cover most of the central section of the city cross facade fronting Rundle Mall. The LED screen will screen news, events such as the World Cup, limited advertising, as well as views from the other LED screens which will be put up in Australia's other 4 over 1 million cities.

Cheers Will.

Re: Grenfell Centre, I take it they are removing the basement level tennancies and replacing them with the new car parks. Yes?

Re: City Cross. Good news, bonus because I thought the developers had given up on it.

Thanks Will for the update. Didn't know the LED screen was still going especially after the 'Times Square' screen just got $1.5m from the ACC. Good to hear though. It should make things more interesting in the mall. Also the Grenfell centre development sounds promising too.

Unfortunately I wasn't sent a picture this time, but it does appear that way.

Great work Crawf! The enthusiasm you are showing for the art of sourcing is great. It will do you wonders in uni if you master this skill!

Just got this e-mail from my friend in the council.

The main features are that there will be a ACC DAP meeting this monday 17 July, however despite the claims made by the 379 KWS developer, this proposal will not be debate upon this month. Therefore without development approval and or development approval for the demolition of the present structure this development cannot start this month as indicated in the Advertiser.

Nothing really interesting will be approved this coming monday, it will be basically houses, townhouses. The most exciting development is probably the Liquorland on the corner of Gouger and West Terrace will be torn down, as well as the derelict car yards next to it, and in its place a 3 level mixed use, office and showroom building will be built.


However the most interesting news is that on July 6, developers lodged plans to build a 11/12 level apartment building featuring 17 apartments in the land at 22A Moger Lane. This development is worth $2 million and it has been classified as Category 1 by the council.

And for those who don't know, Moger Lane is off Tam O'Shanter Place.

Yes you are right Pikey, it was originally 7 levels, but with the new development regulations put in place in January such developments are now complying. The same thing happened with 379 KWS, it was originally proposed at 7 levels.

Interesting. I wonder if the same applies with CC3 being redesigned?

Is CC3 being re-designed? I didn't know about this.

The last that I heard about CC3 is that construction would begin in late 2008.

I heard that there was a redesign in terms of floor and height. Smaller floorplates and taller. From what I've heard there was going to be a residential building incorporated at the current site.
I thought the redesign was happening due to no demolition occuring, but if this thing isn't going to be built until 08, that might explain the lack of activity.
