SYDNEY
Sydney is actually pretty quiet if your a "core spotter". 126 Phillip st is just about there and crane is gone.
KENS is going well and is looking "manhattanish". DP3 is the fastest skyscraper ive seen built for a long time. Its full height and cladding is finally creeping up.
the cores of Meriton & Regent place are rising well . Stamford Marque has a core but still well below street. Aspect is like Mount druitt (a huge hole).

MELBOURNE
B00ming mexico has many skyscrapers comiing to a head.
Eureka has topped out and floors rising rapidly.FWP & SX Tower have both surpassed 500ft. Others coming close are E&Y Plaza,RDT & UWS. Stunning Victoria point is up to its enormous slopped roof section.
The other 4 are cores just above street level.

GOLD COAST
talk about a anti-climax.Q1 hasnt moved since last month. hopefully a fin will appear (just like in JAWS).
The impressive Circle on cavill complex has finally got past the intricate podium levels and the floors should start to escalate.
Air on BB has topped out and looks great.Also Nexus and Shores are full height. Axis is rising fast in Mainbeach.Still another half dozen at excavation stage.

woah great indication, brisbane is getting a lot of buildings between about 130 and 150m looks good.
melbournes are coming along good,
how chunky is kens tower, fucken massive.

is adelaide getting any construction??

well cut off point is 90m/300ft, so Adelaide just misses out with the 84m City central project currently uc.Perth also just misses out with alot over 60m and Condor soon to be uc @ 80m. hopefully harrys Emu Brewery towers both approx 200m will commence this year.

When will you decide to include Vision?

i put the others in because i thought they were about to start.but its now a while since ive drawn them in.I only really want to include ones UC,but with some of brissy ones they have taken there time-eg-Skyline, Mon mary, Charlotte towers,panoramasky ect...i might jjst remove them and only put ones that have ground breaking or demolishment progress ect.
cheers

^ Those one do have those things lol.

Charlotte is still a carpark in use though.
M on Mary may or may not have somehting happening. ITs confusing because Festival Towers did use the M on Mary site near the start, and if you look now you can see there is stuff on the site again. Whether that has to do wiht M on Mary or Festival im not sure.

Skyline .. 4BC have been moving out for some time now. As weve noticed, theyre slow.

Panorama Sky apparantly has work happening underground (cant recall why.. look in its thread)

But yes, that was why i asked about vision. Because you appeared to be including some that were at the same stage (some even less ie Skyline)

wow @ Aurora... Is that one of the fastest constructions in Aust?

Geez you're right malt, if Aurora keeps up the place it will be completed within 1 year! Amazing, what hour shifts are they working there? ;)
