Replaced with a new water feature, or removed entirely?

Is the proposed building running along the back of the plaza (with restaurants etc) still happening, or has this been scrapped?

How long’s this plaza got before its grand opening?

I’d be amused if, after all this, it still ends up being a Labor premier cutting the ribbon.

This looks sensational.

I was worried it’d be “dumbed down” (as is almost customary) but it’s actually had a rare glow up.

Really spectacular. Very excited for this.

This building is ghastly.

The maintenance issue and buck passing between the government and council is pathetic.

There is little point on throwing millions at the Riverbank and leaving the landscaping (and footbridge waterfall) to rack and ruin.

It’s embarrassing.
Someone needs to get a grip and sort it out.

Looking terrific.

Have the powers that be given up on the trickle down waterfall next to the Malt Shovel place?

Likewise the water feature at the end of the footbridge?

This is an absolute shocker.

This bears very little resemblance to the sparkling “Memorial Drive Arena” Christopher Pyne was dragged out to flog a few years back.

6,000 people?

Sigh.

I ride past every day. Nothing has been tidied up, and the water features at both ends of the bridge remain off (as they have for a year and a half now). This really is appalling. What’s the point on trying to make this part of the city the centrepiece of Adelaide if the basics like landscaping and...

It would be nice to see a more panoramic view that shows the tower, perhaps from the riverbank footbridge, to see how it'll look against its surrounds. The full height shot that Walker doesn't really compare the tower to anything. Download and have a look at page 30/31 of the following which was po...

There's an article behind the Tiser paywall if anyone's able to assist.
