that is extremely embarrassing, its almost unbelievable, until you remember that the Adelaide City Council is in charge of it

As bad as it is, I'm sure it's just a stop-gap to prevent anyone tripping up until they get supplies.

Terrace plan cites war statue move
Adam Todd
THE BOER War Memorial on North Tce is set to be moved sideways as part of the strip’s ongoing rejuvenation.

A $14 million master plan for stage three of the North Tce upgrade was presented to Adelaide City Council on Monday night (September 22) but councillors elected to defer final approval.

Under the plan, prepared by landscape architects Taylor Cullity Lethlean, the 1904 statue on the North Tce/King William St corner would be moved slightly closer to Government House to form part of a public plaza.

The slip lane for vehicles turning left off King William St onto North Tce, between the statue and Government House, would be closed and the area restricted to pedestrians.

Good to see that plans for the next stage are being finalised, although I am utterly perplexed at why the current stage still has not been completed!

I wonder, also, what has been sorted out with regards to the Government House walls. Can we access the plans anywhere?

Does this mean no L/H turns from KWS into North Tce unless you have a green light??

From King William Road to North Terrace. Like the corner of Frome Road and North Terrace, this intersection has far too much pedestrian traffic for slip lanes.

Now I dont want to get you all too excited, but they are actually starting to lay the final pavers infront of the Goodman building at the corner of Frome Rd. What they have been doing up to now, well, not much at all. So there is a now a 'ray of light' peeping through that construction fence, finally :D :D

Jeez, took their bloody time.

I wonder how long it'll take to do Stage 3 and 4?

When are stages 3 and 4 due to start? And what section of North Terrace? Toward Parliament house?

Stage 3 is between Kintiore Ave and KWS (front of Government House)
Stage 4 is between KWS and Station Road (front of Parliament House)

I'm really hoping that in Stage 3 they'll knock the walls of Government House down and open up the area to the public.
