Furthermore, the government should seriously put pressure on BHP to move their world base metals HQ from Chile to Adelaide. I couldn't agree more with this comment. As it is, too often SA resources projects are run out of an interstate office or at best, have a token Adelaide office run by some B g...

8 years and this is it? It smacks of the sort of mediocrity that too often defines Adelaide and irraties so many of us.

I guess the libs aren't affraid of height, at least thats something Geez some of the members on here could do much a better job than the libs, I still support the idea of redeveloping the RAH on-site and keeping railway yards for a entertainment/leisure precinct though for heaven sakes come up with...

Obviously I was too abstruse, but I was trying to avoid saying what has already been said before. So, at the risk of repeating myself, I will make myself clear. Thriving, successful cities are bustling because of the successes of the various economies within it. Retail economies, manufacturing econ...

Clearly there are many posters who dislike this proposal because of the political party involved and have made this quite clear either overtly or by finding excuses to denigrate it (putting aside genuine criticism). I don't believe this is in the spirit of sensational-adelaide (atleast in this parti...

"For too long Adelaide has been considered a backwater" drones the monotone voice, chanting that same trite line that's been heard I-don't-know-how-often before. But what they show us is a backwater plan. Stadiums, conference facilities, casinos, hotels, it's like a grab-bag of the ideas ...

Exactly! It's just a regurgitation of ideas already concieved and put down on a few maps to make things look pretty. We need big-ticket items. The City Stadium seems to be the only one mentioned. Underground railway, via Gawler Place, station at Victoria Square, and throughfared to the convergence ...

http://www.martin2010.com.au/ RIP vision. I said it before - what the libs need is an everybody else change not a leadership change. MHS was their only member with vision. The rest of them just bicker among themselves to the point where I think they should just split the party and be done with it. ...

If you're so concerned with what the rest of the World is doing then you might be further surprised that some of the World's largest cities are both considering demolishing some of their freeways and some others have already done so. And you'll be beyond surprised that those places aren't suffering...

For those having troubles with induced demand - take a long hard look at Brisbane's road situation. It is in a total snarl - came out on the news here today. Tunnels, expressways and freeways have all got caught up in an uncoordinated mess with very irate drivers everywhere. (All at a cost of 10's ...

The principle of Induced Demand is not particularly complex and is often at the heart of arguments by those against roads in general. I suspect its impressive sounding name is designed to intimidate opponents I hadn't realised the name sounded impressive. Can you think of a less impressive but stil...

The principle of Induced Demand is not particularly complex and is often at the heart of arguments by those against roads in general. I suspect its impressive sounding name is designed to intimidate opponents and is presented as an indisputable fact. That said, it is used as it does have some merit...

Can't help but wonder how different the comments in this forum might be if Rann was to propose the exact same development.... Arguably the most exciting urban renewal project ever proposed for the CBD (of which the stadium is just one long term proposal) and most of the comments are particularly neg...
