As it's been said so many times now, if you don't like the idea of living next to a high rise building then don't bother living in the city centre. What does my place of residence have to do with the fact the project is poorly bankrolled? Yeah I don't like the project, but that doesn't change the s...

Unfortunatly for you talking down the success of this development won't stop it from happening. Correct, what I say will have no impact, but the severe lack of money behind the project will impact its success. You can say I'm talking down the project if you like, but I'm just posting information th...

Well settlement on the land has finally happened and Tagara have plastered the old building on Sturt St with their signage, BUT don't hold your breath on this one getting off the ground any time soon. Yes they're all keen and the relevant companies are talking the project up, problem is they have no...

Anyone declaring Adelaide City should only consist of high rise apartments has zero perspective on reality. This situation is mostly the fault of the ACC who have repeatedly failed to evolve their development plan with the times. The term 'regulatory scelorosis' comes to mind. I rarely point blame,...

You live in the CBD, put up or shut up. I own 2 properties in the City. I work in the City (have done for over 20 years). My wife works in the City (over 10 years) We do 90% of our shopping, drinking and dining in the City (in fact I'm just about to log off and go to Panacea). My wife volunteers at...

These little townhouses around in the Adelaide city area that look like crap and are a blight on the landscape, will start to disappear. Are you serious? You think there are enough people in South Australia who want to live in high density apartments to take over the City? You think there is enough...

Buying in the CBD, you ran the risk that eventually there would be development, even if the regulations at the time wouldn't impede on you... a developing city will grow and change the rules. That's a ridiculous statement. The legal framework, whether its planning law or any other law, is meant to ...

Why wouldn't trucks enter Meyers Lane from the other end (which is extremely wide, in fact, about 4 cars wide) and the end which is closer to the development rather than the teeny tiny one way entrance shown here? Turning in off Sturt Street would also be a lot easier than turning in off Gilbert St...

Only if they're planning on buying the houses on Meyers Lane and knocking them down. Right on the corner either side of the entrance there is no setback from the footpath.

I take it you're one of the "poor schmucks who lives next door"...? Yes I am. Bought the land and built a house. Followed all the planning laws. Was aware of all the hight restrictions when I built. But changing the planning law to introduce the new concept of catalyst sites, which are no...

Yep all sounds fantastic unless you're one of the poor schmucks who lives next door to the site. Has anyone looked at the overshadowing (pg 142-146). Have a look at the solar analysis for winter solstice. Some of the properties will be overshadowed 100% of the day. So the new development gets a 5 st...
