PROJECTS: SA Retail

[Mants]

mmm...reminds me of bali!

not quite, but cool all the same.

i work on rundle street, and the vibe that the market will create should be fantastic!

[Roar/]

Sounds great...don't realy go to rundle street much, maybe this will change it a bit.

[BrilliantBlend]

I think the East End markets will enhance the city's image greatly. Very few places have inner-city markets and I think Adelaide should take advantage of being able to do that.

The Queen Victoria Markets in Melbourne are absolutely sensational and I would love to see the same kind of atmosphere and goods sold in Adelaide.

Free CBD on-street parking for Easter

13apr06
CITY motorists will be able to park for free in the CBD over the Easter break.

Timed ticket parking will not apply on the public holidays of Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Monday.

However, parking restrictions in taxi zones, bus zones, no stopping zones, no standing zones or "any day" loading zones will still be enforced.

Adelaide City Council chief executive Mal Hemmerling, said motorists should check street signs.

"As a basic rule, any red-worded signage designates a parking restriction," he said.

All council-owned UParks will be closed tomorrow.

On Saturday, Pirie and Flinders St UParks will be closed.

On Easter Sunday and Monday all UParks, except for Central Market and Rundle St, will be closed.

They're making it a dual-level carpark on the Portrush Rd side and expanding shops on the Sidney Street side.

Westfield West Lakes was recently upgraded.

Centro Arndale is due for a 60m upgrade, some preparation work is already taking place. The dap has been submitted and as far as i know has already been approved.

Port Canal mall is set for a big upgrade sometime in the near future with newport quays being built around the corner from it.

Marion shopping centre to get an upgraded interchange?

Mitcham Square (Belair Road, Mitcham) - DUE TO OPEN OCTOBER 2006




From the Taplin Real Estate Website

This landmark of style and function will almost triple existing lettable space.

MITCHAM SQUARE is Adelaide's most exciting opportunity for retailers large and small.

Contemporary and convenient shopping will draw individuals and families from surrounding suburbs and the Adelaide Hills.

Two major supermarkets and a cinema complex will generate high traffic and a social atmosphere.

Lettings will centre on precincts for food, fashion, homewares and entertainment, showing the discerning shopper that MITCHAM SQUARE is "for every side of you".

If any shopping mall should be upgraded, I belive it should be Rundle Mall. What ever happened to the 'visions' covered by Vision 2020? Re-introducing life back into the city centre?
Whilst suburban retailers may benefit from these upgrades and it certainly benefits locals from having to travel, it leaves the city malls empty and isolated. Hopefully someone will unveil a plan to expand on the Rundle Mall precient so that all Adelaidians can enjoy and benefit from the new city hub.

people like the larger shopping centres because they have it all. supermarkets, departments stores, specialty shops, food halls.

rundle mall is badly laid out imo. all the atms are down one end, away from most of the shops.

the city's problem is that there are too few supermarkets, so city residents have to travel elsewhere, eg Unley, Norwood, Burnside

[lightsvision]

I believe supermarkets and food shopping should be a suburban thing, I just don't believe in huge malls like Westfield Marion that have clothes stores, toy stores, multi-cinemas, all those retail outlets which could be placed in the city.

ATMs? Eh? If you stand still long enough in the Mall, they'll stick an ATM on you. There's at least five CBA ones in the mall, and more on Hindley and King William Streets.

The main problem for the CBD is simply transport.

i guess you're right, but other than BankSA, CBA and a few others, there arent many around. ANZ, for example.

Adelaide is a very spread out city so its needs huge malls such as Marion, Elizabeth, Tea Tree Plaza and Collanades, the problem with the city is there is not alot of things to do for young people (such as arcades) and what atd said.

btw since the $300m Elizabeth Shopping centre redevelopment the area's moral has improved and alot of people are moving into the area (mostly young families).

Elizabeth is now one of SA's Finest Shopping Centres
