Are those gaps above the embeded steel plate on the floor level for coping? I'm not an expert. They have been there exposed for over a year though. Would that affect the original build?

Oh definitely mine is definitely not political, it's more critiquing the bizarre process of digging a hole before any construction approval. Streamlining seems to be the buzzword of choice these days.

LOL I personally love this.

I also really hope the big 4 consultancies share the space with government departments. Also with a big 4 bank.
Patrick this is clearly not corruption though, it's "policy streamlining".

It means I can call the council and tell them I'm digging a hole in a nearby park ...

My understanding is that the hospital build isn’t progressing quite that quickly. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Reason being there's a lot of "consultants" to be consulted.

3 advertising zones makes me nervous.... Seeing what they did with FT1 I'm expecting this distinctive facade to gave a 10 level EY logo overlooking the plaza now....
If it was large scale LED panelling, it would be cool. But it's not. It never is in Australia.

I would have thought it is a bit far for the Wyndham. Werent they looking at the city central sort of area.

Re: The Housing Crisis

It doesn't take an economist to know that price caps only work if there is enough supply, security and policing. Which there is none of those. Once the cap comes off, prices skyrocket.

Diverse food offering would be ideal something for everyone. Pub food can be found anywhere. Maybe something gastro that’s pub food with a twist.

Don’t underestimate an Adelaidian’s food palette. This isn’t the Gold Coast. Even the Bogan-inclined don’t mind something a bit different.

I would hope to God that whatever hospitality offering turns out to be anything else except another stock standard American burger bar, Cibo or a Funk or yet another "dive" banh mi vietnamese cafe.


A bar offering beer and hearty breakfast/lunches/dinners would probably be the best fit for the ...

Coles will open a supermarket inside the central market when completed.


Foodland or Drakes would have been better. The Advertiser article features so much spin:

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Coles to Market Square as the next chapter for their previous store that stood proudly since ...
