[APP] Re: Masonic Lodge | 183m | 37 Levels | Mixed Use

I think it's further up the thread, but I believe they were working with the state architect to figure out the most appropriate traffic solution. They had three options included in the original plans, two purely via Synagogue place, and one with a link to North Terrace.

No exactly sure what the ...

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



I'd be more excited about this development if it were just a doubling of the central market floorspace. Couldn't care less about the high-rises and franchise shops.


I know that we don't often agree on a lot of things, but I couldn't agree more with this. There is so much vacant or dilapidated ...

I also feel compelled to post this still from their 3D tour, showcasing Adelaide's famous... western, beach-side mountain range in the background? :shock:

I always thought the parliament building could do with a publicly accessible dome like the German Reichstag https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? ... prov=rarw1

It certainly could increase the number of visitors to the building....

As per the article above, Adelaide is exempt from the foreign student cap.
afaik it's not an exemption, it's just that the imposed individual cap for the unis in Adelaide are not that binding.
Problem is that they can revise those at will...

I don't understand why when they build a multi level car park, it's front and center?


Wait, where do you see a car park in these renders? There is one building that looks at first glance design wise like one, but it's labelled "civic" and seems to actually host community center type of ...

Not just a 'golden gatehouse' but actually the swimming pool and outdoor leisure facilities for the hotel in the submitted and approved plans to state planning. Walked past a couple of days ago and it looks as though this is not to be included in the final product which is very disappointing ...

Bikeways, plural? ACC can’t even figure out where to build an east-west bikeway, let alone second north-south one! :lol:
One going north, and one going south makes two, ergo plural... :D

I suppose the building doesn’t have to be approved… Keystone Tower isn’t approved yet.

The 100m+ proposal on Franklin Street has a hotel component from memory. That could be a possibility too.
