[SWP] Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)

[Spurdo]

Asbestos is my understanding.

I could be completely wrong here, but I feel as if they could be doing some work regarding the removal of the former tunnel system that used to run under the complex. It looks to be in the right location for the section of it that used to run under the old residential wing towards the boiler house. In fact, I think there’s some pics earlier in the thread when the foundations for that block were being removed where you can see the remnants of where the diesel storage tanks were for the emergency generators.

Why are there gate keepers at both North Tce entrances when there is nothing happening on site.

There always seems to be at least 10 traffic monitors across the site. I hate to think how much money's being wasted.

$60m announcement today for a defence technology academy to be built at Lot 14.

Wonder if that’s the tenancy that will see the long mooted Innovation building go ahead?

At the opening of the new park at Lot Fourteen today, the Premier said that’s where it’s going and an announcement on that building will be coming soon.

Some photos from the park opening:







The Premier also brought up the Tarrkarri site (not by name), but did say a lot of work was going on behind the scenes to make sure they got that building right. He wanted it to be of global significance and worth telling friends about and getting on a plane for.

There was an article on ABC News Online last week about Tarrkarri, mostly focused on the government's heel dragging and lack of transparency:

So what happens if this drags on again to next election, Mali is voted out and the new government scrap his plans for something new? Like girl come on

[gnrc_louis]

At some point the State Government are going to have to make a decision on this rather than just keep kicking the can down the road: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-14/ ... ntent=link

“We’re excited to welcome Bombardier Defense as the latest company to expand its presence in South Australia, driven by the boundless opportunities our state has to offer.

“Bombardier’s decision to establish a long-term footprint in South Australia underscores the confidence in our state and our defence industry.

“Their presence is also a testament to the growing opportunities for defence companies that exist here, which will open doors for Bombardier to provide airborne capabilities to national defence and national security projects.”

“Bombardier has a proven catalogue of aircraft that bring together next-generation technology, agility and speed, making them the perfect solution for the evolving landscape in civilian, military and hybrid specialized operations.

We are looking forward to anchoring ourselves in the region and growing our local partnerships.”

No more money for the Aboriginal Cultural Centre in the state budget.

Not a good sign.

I noticed yesterday (19/6/2024) the gate keepers are still on duty at both entrances of North Tce to the site.

With no Indigiineous Centre then what the hell is going here??? It will get to another election, Malaka will be out and then we will have his ego project shelved for another one. This is TIRESOME Adelaide. You really lack vision. FFS

I’d guess it’s unlikely they’ll be able to get sufficient private donations to hit the figure they’ve quoted for the centre, so unless the federal government fund the shortfall, it seems dead. Maybe back to the modern art gallery idea with an aboriginal art focus?

Bit harsh calling it Malaka's ego project when it was Marshall/Libs who came up with it.

If this project is well and truly dead, I wonder if any thought has gone into returning part of the land to the Botanic Gardens?

[Will]

This parcel of land has not been parklands since the 1840s.

It seems that the Aboriginal Culture Gallery is dead, but to suggest returning the land to parklands, whilst affordable would be such an insipid and short-sighted waste of prime North Terrace frontage.

No one would ever visit Adelaide to see a larger Botanic Garden.
