A MUCH-AWAITED alfresco eatery is finally open for business in Rundle Mall, with the oweners hoping to cash in on the stream of cricket fans.
The veil has been lifted today on Buskers, a 60-seat cafe in the old visitor information centre at the mall's Hindley St end.
It will begin trading tonight.
Run by Glenelg Oyster Bar owners Jason Bernardi and Eddie Taylor, it is the first of two proposed for the retail strip by the Adelaide City Council.
The council has injected $350,000 in the cafe, which will be open seven days and after hours.
Acting lord mayor Cris Magasdi said it was an exciting development in the shopping precinct.
"It's an excellent addition for the mall and will not only provide a fine dining establishment, but also create a sense of life and atmosphere in the mall after dark,'' he said.

I walked passed it last night, and it was relatively full of people. It adds a great touch to the mall, and gives it that much needed buzz (at least in the vicinity). I also have to say that last night the city was hot! those extra 30 000 people from the cricket added an extra dimension. The streets were full of life and vibe. The city looked really great and should give a good impression to the tourists!
any news??*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.

Mayors' planned projects for New Year

A YOUTH centre, multi-storey car park, student accommodation and major road upgrades are just some of the initiatives metropolitan Adelaide's mayors have planned for the new year.
At the beginning of a new council term, and a new year, the mayors have spoken about the most pressing issues in their council area - and what they plan to do about them in 2007.
Newly-elected Tea Tree Gully Mayor Miriam Smith wants to address the lack of youth services and facilities in her city.
"We have one of the largest populations of young people in the metropolitan area (about 19,000) . . . but there is not a lot available (for them) . . . not enough entertainment," said the mother of four teenagers.
She plans to create a "home base" for health services, employment advice and counselling, and to give young people "an opportunity to meet people and be with their peers".
Adelaide Lord Mayor Michael Harbison will focus on the city's shortage of accommodation for international students.
"We're taking people in to our universities and selling them education but we don't sell them accommodation," he said.
Mr Harbison said he would discuss options for new purpose-built student accommodation in the city with universities and developers.
Holdfast Bay Mayor Ken Rollond said visitors to Glenelg were continually frustrated by a lack of parking, which he wants to solve by building a multi-storey carpark at the Bay.
"There are little spots here and there but they are all full, you need one big one so you know where to go," he said.
There were two sites at Glenelg Dr Rollond was considering, including a council-owned single-storey carpark on Partridge St.
He hopes to build a 500-space carpark at a cost of about $14,000 per park and would consider a public-private partnership.
Prospect Mayor David O'Loughlin is determined to improve the condition of Churchill Rd, which he said was on the "forgotten fringe" of the council area. "It is ugly, unsafe, noisy and it has very poor kerbs and footpaths," he said.
He hopes to secure State Government funding to improve the road surface, while council would plant more trees and fix the footpaths.
Walkerville Mayor David Whiting will introduce a new environmentally sustainable residential development plan which will focus on water retention, energy saving and design.
The environment is also important for Port Adelaide Enfield Mayor Gary Johanson's. This year he will engage an expert to devise a system for the council to conserve more water by using stormwater and installing more rain water tanks.
Norwood, Payneham and St Peters Mayor Robert Bria wants to upgrade, and possibly relocate, the Norwood and St Peters libraries.
West Torrens Mayor John Trainer would make it a priority to reclaim unpaid rates from Adelaide Airport Ltd.
At Onkaparinga, Mayor Lorraine Rosenberg is thinking beyond 2007 in developing a "strategic direction" for the council for the next 20 to 50 years.

There are several projects that could answer this. A matter of getting them built quickly. Let's see 'The Precinct' off the ground.Adelaide Lord Mayor Michael Harbison will focus on the city's shortage of accommodation for international students.

Interesting. You want (thousands of) visitors but not residents in new highrises.Holdfast Bay Mayor Ken Rollond said visitors to Glenelg were continually frustrated by a lack of parking, which he wants to solve by building a multi-storey carpark at the Bay.

Churchill Road should be a North-South freeway.Prospect Mayor David O'Loughlin is determined to improve the condition of Churchill Rd, which he said was on the "forgotten fringe" of the council area. "It is ugly, unsafe, noisy and it has very poor kerbs and footpaths," he said.

Bring it on, but centralise it.Norwood, Payneham and St Peters Mayor Robert Bria wants to upgrade, and possibly relocate, the Norwood and St Peters libraries.
Can he do this? Isn't that Federal land?West Torrens Mayor John Trainer would make it a priority to reclaim unpaid rates from Adelaide Airport Ltd.
That's ambitious!At Onkaparinga, Mayor Lorraine Rosenberg is thinking beyond 2007 in developing a "strategic direction" for the council for the next 20 to 50 years.

Agreed. But i guess it's how quickly (if at all) investors take up interest in the proposed city apartments in the city's west.Ho Really wrote:There are several projects that could answer this.

Yes, let's have a multi-storey carpark with lo-rise apartments, that'll make the area look great won't it Ken.Holdfast Bay Mayor Ken Rollond said visitors to Glenelg were continually frustrated by a lack of parking, which he wants to solve by building a multi-storey carpark at the Bay.
It's pretty residential down that way. Historic houses on the prospect side, and a trainline running on the western side. Currently it's restricted to one lane for most of on the city end.Churchill Road should be a North-South freeway.Prospect Mayor David O'Loughlin is determined to improve the condition of Churchill Rd, which he said was on the "forgotten fringe" of the council area.

I can't see how Churchill Road could be a freeway, but an underpass or overpass going over Regency Road and Grand Junction would be a good start.

THE Property Council of South Australia has branded the Adelaide City Council's decision to partially reintroduce a ward system of representation as a "regressive step".
Property Council executive director Nathan Paine yesterday said the council's decision to divide the city into three wards was a "wasted opportunity".
"We are disappointed the council has supported the partial reintroduction of wards, as this regressive step increases local interests at the expense of those using the city."
