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...

But they are building the supermarket on the site now. They’re not going to build something on it for a few months or even years and demolish it? Is it possible the supermarket could be designed for future development on top of it? It’s not - no proper foundations, just a concrete slab and prefab w...

Are they demolishing those lovely heritage cottages, or are they going to retain the facade or build behind?

Now, if QF were to fly somewhere new to put the hard yards into developing a new market, that would be a very welcome development. India, Thailand, the Phillipines, Vietnam, all would be new-ish markets and benefit South Australia. That I could get behind. This would be a great thing for QF to do. ...

I don’t mind these decent density builders but we don’t have enough of the more wow projects. Not yet. In London the brick facade is used and down very well. I’d love to see more of that in Adelaide, especially after the Market development is done. Not yet is the key. You need existing density and ...

Apparently the developer behind this has plans ready for another apartment block to be called 'Casa' at corner of Parade and Sydenham (old Beaumont Tiles). https://curatedcapital.com.au/portfolio/45-the-parade/ https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/business/orta-apartments-tops-out-as-developers-start-pla...

We should all consider that the steel work is still in red rust prevention primer and so we should wait until construction is complete before making a final assement of project. As for the extension of the tram/ light rail, the Adelaide City council made the assumption that the Torrens River bridge...

Has anyone been to these interactive sessions they have been holding in various places about the transport plan? Some kind of VR thing where you can look at the ‘Adelaide of the Future’ or something like that. The pictures on DIT’s website, which I can only assume come from the VR ‘experience’ show...

I find it strange these developments are sluggish when ADL has been in a housing crisis for how long now? Lots of builders went bust in the post-Covid inflation spike because they had entered into contracts at prices which were no longer viable given the post-inflation cost of materials. There are ...

Found this masterplan buried in one of the planning documents.

It doesn't show the building heights, but it looks like this development will be basically all apartments.

Market Plaza refresh is underway, looks as if 'The Greek Palace' (currently operating as a food truck business) are moving in there. Not exactly in keeping with what's previously been in the Arcade but I guess if they make it work then that's good for the Arcade. Interestingly, the newish cafe that...

Nothing exceptional, but its a good filler. Put it in context - this whole area of the city is going to see massive change over the next few years, and it’s just going to be one part of that. It looks like there will be decent street activation too, extending up the side streets, not just Franklin S...

Low key, if we built the dome over the parliament and completed the parliament, it would make the tower overshadowing less obnoxious. IMG_2047.jpegIMG_2046.jpeg When the tower is built, thankfully heat transfer will from the glass facade won’t be an issue on the north terrace side, with the sun fac...

Onwards and upwards It’s simple, we need more A++ quality office stock. No one is disagreeing with you on that. The question is - is it a good outcome for that office stock to be built on this particular site? I am of the view that the answer is no, because: 1. This development, in its planned loca...
