I'm pretty sure the Adelaide Riverbank figures are of what's currently there.

Well that explains it

Well, if that is a revised master-plan of the Riverside Project, I'll be voting Liberal's in March, 2014. 2 cafe's/restaurants? What a down-plan to what was originally proposed!

It's in addition to the existing apparently - this is a plan for the broader area, incorporating the previous plan for the core. (Not a downgrade, thankfully, which was my initial concern)

So the riverbank precinct currently gets 9 million visitors a year? I thought it would be less considering Brisbane's southbank apparently gets 10 million which is only 1 million more than our own river which hasn't even been developed yet.

The 9 million probably includes zoo patronage, popeye, AO, red ochre restaurant, Jolley's boathouse, elder park concerts, passing cyclists, joggers, etc...

Yes, perhaps the 9 million figure's a little light on given Brisbane's South Bank is a mere 42 hectares against the massive 380 hectares Renewal SA are broadly considering our riverbank precinct.

If everyone in Adelaide went for a daily walk along the riverbank the area would 365,000,000 visitors a year!

(366,000,000 every 4 years)

On another note; Adelaide Festival organisers have announced on that the 'Barrio' club will not return in 2014 because the redevelopment of the AFC car-park will have commenced. There appears to be a God somewhere... No more Hajek Plaza!!

[carcrash]

Barrio is a good idea, but obviously the Plaza sits idle for the other 11 months of the year. It'll be a sad day when it goes.

From my understanding, they plan the create a new club similar to Barrio for next year. Eventually the new Festival Square could pose as a new venue for Barrio. Wait and see!

Bring on the bulldozers. I loathe that plaza.

I love(d) that plaza. But unfortunately the caretakers took no care of it and allowed it to become a worn out mess.

I agree - bring 'em on. ;-;

so are they building the carpark before all the other things happen? or are they doing it at the same time?

Looks like Adelaide Motors are set to redevelop the adjoining petrol station.
