Happy new year, SA forum folks! Adelaide has developed and grown quite a bit in the last few years (despite the Covid situation), let's hope that momentum continues well into 2023 and beyond.

Hey, this is a weird question to ask but I was wondering if anyone here knows what the big Balfours factory out at Dudley Park used to be before they moved in? I always remember they used to be where West Franklin is and its a pretty old looking factory so clearly it’s not a new build.

It's official: University of Adelaide and UniSA are merging.

Merry Christmas, fellow Adelaide building and development enthusiasts - hope everyone had a lovely time yesterday, despite the surprisingly inclement weather conditions.

Albeit late but with Plasmatron breaking the ice can only wish everyone merry Xmas and the greetings that go with the season. May all your developments and building projects come to fruition

Cheers

Let's hope 2024 is an exciting year for SA developments. Happy New Year to everyone, healthy and prosperous.

Cheers

I'm pretty sure it was a Spotless Linen facility for cleaning and storing linen.

I know the place you’re talking about and I don’t think it’s that one as Spotless are still in that one. The Balfours one is the red and beige building next door. I do recall hearing about there being some sort of government owned central kitchen type place back in the 70’s, but that may have just been a proposal.

Is it just me, or are AdelaideNow articles no longer pay walled?

Not 100% sure but think that prior to Balfours it was used by Golden Chef prior to them going into receivership

Still look to be paywalled to me. There are some types of articles on there (such as real estate ones) that are more frequently open though.

the articles that are paid for (ie native ads) are open
