[U/C] Re: Central Market Arcade Redevelopment | 130m | 39 levels

Re: Nonowie batteries:

Grinds my gears a little when articles list the capacities but do not explicitly state whether they are referring to the overall or hourly capacity.

Probably too late to make a submission on the DA to demand a blank concrete wall. Would be perfect wall and no light for a projector/home cinema

You realise how tall this is right… construction hasn’t started yet and they want it open by 2027. My thoughts are it’ll partly open by that time.


they're not going to open it while its still under construction

that would violate so many local laws ...
