For some reason when any developer tries to get something off the ground down there it seems to go back and forth with its going ahead, its not going ahead, too high, wrong place, the wind blows to hard there, not enough water flows in the creek.Its always something.
I love the state as it will always be 'home' for me but in ways i am glad i have left as in Brisbane/QLD things like this dont spend years in courts or parliment with arguements on whether the building is to high, or not big enough. (JUST BUILD THE THING!!!!)
The adelaide oval lights....that was a laughing stock for us.
And this thing about how the CBD height restrictions is due to the Airport fly in path?? What a joke. Brisbanes CBD is IN the flight path of the airport runway and just recently had a building approved for 80 stories.
Surely people need to wake up down there and stop the bickering and fights and get the ball rolling. It must be still frustrating with the adelaide oval thing going back and forth....
thoughts???

There are many smaller projects, but mostly below $150 million - and in the scheme of things, that isn't a lot.
Pasadena Shopping Centre, Crown Hotel Victor, Trade Training Centres, Cavan Youth Prison and minor hospital works are dominating the current market. Little work, lot's of competition.

Apartment style living - Bar the inner CBD, Holdfast Shores ( already done ) or small pockets ( like West Lakes, Mawson Lakes etc ) then there really isnt anyone willing to pay the money that the client would require to make a profit from such works.
Major Government spending - As maxyoz detailed, the new RAH has all major suppliers, trades and services holding their collective breathe to see if they can grab a slice of that pie.
- With the AO project still pie in the sky stuff contractors are looking to secure the RAH works in case there is no movement at the AO.
BER works - While loads of smaller companies ( in my industry anyway ) popped up to complete these works, they will now be stuffed that this money has dried up. Im not sure what many of them will do.

South Australia may go broke but at least the Crows will be more viable.
