When will cinema chains learn? A commercial cinema in Adelaide's CBD will only work in Rundle Mall or the east end (which there already is one there, obviously). That end of Hindley Street has nothing going for a cinema, which I'm sure this is why the governkent ditched the cinema proposal for the Riverbank precinct, no money in the area. Rundle Mall has the traders both in the day and evening as well as parking all around, Rundle Street has the apartments (residents), restaurants and cafes.

Idea: new owner for the MYER, negotiate a re-fit of the upper two/three floors and put cinemas up there. Works for Brisbanes Myer Centre, could definitely work for Adelaide's. Otherwise, I'd have said cinemas would have worked well in the Rundle.Place development or the Renaisance building.

Previously it was a bad location, but now with the huge amount of investment and activity happening in the West End, the location is now fast becoming one of the best in the city... stones throw away from the Medical Precinct, Adelaide Oval, Riverbank Precinct etc. It's even in the vicinity of the planned Sofitel and Holiday Inn hotels.

The owners need to learn from the former mistakes, bulldoze the whole thing and replace it with something far far better (potentially this rumoured proposal). Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with what your saying, but a cinema on Hindley Street could be successful if it's planned right.

Agree no houses should be built on them

Too late, Llessur. I've been asked to work on some layouts for apartments for sale in the old RAH.

I wonder what sort of titles the government will be able to give? 99 year leases as in the UK?

Consent to undertake the demolition of an existing perimeter fence and internal wall (eastern side) and caretakers cottage within Government House, construct a new wall and fence along an amended alignment (including a change of land use to public thoroughfare), with associated tree damaging activities (removal and/or pruning of regulated trees), and the installation of paving, landscaping, public lighting, artwork, security gate and signage.

A NEW state-of the art function centre, club rooms and pavilion is set to be built in the western Parklands as part of an $8 million SACA plan.

The South Australian Cricket Association, in exchange for another long-term lease, would redevelop Park 25, next to West Tce and Glover Ave.

SACA’s general manager of cricket operations Shane Bernhardt said they were “focused on increasing the number of women who play the game” so wanted to replace changerooms and built clubrooms to better accommodate more teams.

“The (Changerooms) must be about 80 years old and they just aren’t up to the standard that is required for our players and volunteers,” he said.

The fields would also be upgraded, with some moved slightly, to accommodate the new change room building, pavilion, underground car park and function centre.

The redeveloped centre would have a smaller footprint on the Parklands than the current set up.

“We often hold cricket carnivals there but at the moment our end-of-carnival functions, where we hand out trophies, is basically having a barbecue under a tree,” Mr Bernhardt said.

“A lot of players (competing in the carnivals) come from country areas so we want to have somewhere to have a function that is on site.”

It is part of a masterplan for the South and West Parklands to turn them into sports hubs but has not been approved by the Adelaide City Council.

The fields would continue to be used for lacrosse and football in the winter.

The council’s recreation planner Ray Scheuboeck said the redevelopment of Park 25 would provide better-quality sports facilities and save ratepayers a lot of money.

“Partnering with external organisations is a good way to deliver better sports facilities and to make sure they are what is needed for those particular sports,” he said.

Mr Scheuboeck said the area could also become the new home of beach volleyball in the city but the cost of those facilities would not be paid for by SACA.

“That is one of the options we are considering because City Beach is currently on council-owned land in the city but (the plan) has not yet been approved,” he said.

The proposal will be shown to councillors next month.
