Wandered past today. The scaffolding’s gone yet the awning and the first floor facade are still very incomplete. Strange.

Golf on a Rooftop

#18 Post by Will » Mon Aug 28, 2006 3:42 pm

I found this article in the Sunday Mail, and I think that it is a really great idea, and another drawcard to the mall.


City drivers take a tee break

OFFICE workers dreaming of being on a driving range will get the chance of hitting some balls on a rooftop in the heart of the city.

While it officially opens this morning, the $100,000 Golf on the Mall driving range above Rundle Mall Plaza has been a distraction for high-rise workers since its construction began earlier this year.
Co-owner Eddie Magee and his partners, Paul Boyd and Shane Connolly, said the range would be popular with shoppers, city residents, university students and tourists. No bookings will be taken.
"We have eight tee-off mats so people can rock up and if there's one available, it's theirs," he said.
"That way, people won't be waiting around if someone who has booked one and is running late."
Enjoying a sneak preview yesterday, Tess Benton, 21, of Burnside, a student and part-time fashion sales assistant in Rundle Mall, said the driving range would be a great place to hang out with workmates.
Meanwhile, golf enthusiast Nick Porter, 27, of Unley, said it would be popular with busy professionals.
A bucket of balls will cost $12.50. Golfers who bring their own clubs will pay $10 per bucket.

I thought the same, so I had a wonder up there just quickly. I didn't have much time to look around, but there isn't all that much of a spectacular view. There's a lot of equipment on the roof that ruin it, and what's left is covered by netting.

Still, interesting idea.

Grenfell Centre plaza

#23 Post by Ho Really » Wed Dec 20, 2006 10:32 pm

The plane trees in front of the Grenfell Centre have all been chopped down. This part of the plaza has been fenced off for a little while now. Is there some kind of redevelopment going on?

Cheers

there was a small article about it in the paper today

the main focus of the article was that the trees had been removed and outlined the distress of the cafe owners, who were uninformed of this project.

The building is getting a new entrance area, including two new retail tenancies.

I remember that there was a thread on this somewhere, this isn't anything new.

Specifically, it was discussed here:

Will got the scoop.
