Can now change the thread title?

Two webcams now instead of just one (addition of 1 facing HMRI and a part of the CBD). Excellent zoom feature now as well. Shows a great amount of detail:

From my tram I noticed the roof has been removed from the western-most police building in that cluster near the old Gaol... anyone know if this is just an upgrade or a demolition? Seems too far from the hospital and I didn't think Bonython Park was rolling yet.

I think it's actually making way for the new Road & Cycle training centre which is replacing the previous one which closed last year.

can anyone offer a brief explanation of just why the area has been excavated so widely and to such depth? Seems excessive for what I understood the new hospital to be.
