Adelaide CBD

Posted on 14/06/2010 by John

In my previous post I mentioned about the Adelaide Parklands Preservation Association, this group seems to want to stifle any progress this city can make. Another group that appears to have similar intentions is the Adelaide City Council. It looks really bad for Adelaide when every building proposed gets a “oh it could be a little bit to tall”. Come on, we have some of the smallest buildings in the country. Queensland is expanding at a crazy rate. Look at its buildings and building policies. An argument against tall buildings is often “oh but the flight path”. What about the flight path? Other cities around the world cope fine with tall buildings around their airports. Also if you look at a map of Adelaide and draw a line from the runway you can see that the planes can easily miss the CBD. Its not like its tall buildings then suddenly a runway. Adelaide needs to build up not out. We need to stop this crazy nonsense of building temporary structures each year for the Clipsal race. We should have permanent buildings that have other purposes throughout the year. Something needs to be done with Victoria Square. It needs more happening like Federation Square in Melbourne. Rundle mall needs to open restaurants and shops on the balcony level. Rundle mall also needs to be open later. Its crazy that the shops close at 5 when there are hundreds of workers walking through the mall on their way home. These are all simple things to help stimulate our capital and yet the progress haters complain. Adelaide is the capital of South Australia meaning that it is the place all South Australians should be able to go to, to work, play and shop. All South Australians should have equal say on what goes on in the CBD. It is the capital of our state, not the backyard of the few people that live there.
