[PRO] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 2 | 149m | 38 Levels | Office

There's hoardings setup along the footpath on the King William Rd side of Parliament, only saw it briefly driving past today but seems to connect to this site.

Re: SA Economy

The man who wants Treasurer Stephen Mullighan's job, shadow treasurer Sam Telfer, narrowed his pitch to voters on who you can trust managing these major builds. "South Australians have little to no confidence in this Labor government that they're going to be able to stick to their budgets and ...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

I don't really venture beyond the motorway anymore, traffics a nightmare. I was more so talking about the landscaping across the road from the old Cadbury factory. I saw it briefly this morning while navigating traffic, might have been morning eyes still but looked pretty green. The upkeep on other ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

Germany's economic situation isn't primarily caused by their energy policies & choices. So it's a mute point and completely irrelevant to this thread. Maybe more so suited to the pub.

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

The updated detailed project map highlights so many flaws with this motorway design, I could write an essay. Plus I cant wait for all that passive green space to be turned into it's true roadside form - lots of bitumen and 20mm roadbase, jazzed up with a few dead and dying coral gums. Exactly what ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

No of course but they are the basis of electricity prices. The formula to get to retail is a lot more complicated. "Record high costs".... Source? It's well established we have some of the highest power prices in the country. It's also well established that we have wholesale prices that a...

With the billions being spent you'd think they'd be able to come up with something other then painted lines.

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

Who will be responsible for maintaining the green spaces, the department or council? Or will it be farmed out to one of those road maintenance firms that seem to do nothing other then drive their trucks with flashing flights very slowly and all hazard lights flashing so you never know if they're sud...

[PRO] Re: 133 Franklin Street | 101m | 30 Levels | Student accom

What's the point of having planning regulations if they're just going to be blatantly disregarded. I'm very concerned about the free-for-all state of affairs at SAPC. Are our planning regs different to other capitals in regards to this sort of thing? Perhaps the regulations should be modelled after...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

I don't think that area was really use for anything other then storage or whatever for the supercars race, and that seems to change how much of the parklands around pitlane they use each year? The area closer to the pitlane, where there's a bitumen walkway from halifax st right through to fullarton ...
