I finally watched the presser about the location. The bit that really kinda gave it away was when the architect pointed out the window and said, "That hilltop where the driving range facilities are, that’s the bit we reckon will connect to the top levels of the stadium".- Words: 49

First teaser of where the much vaunted walkable corridors are going to be. I have the feeling announcements for all sorts of things are going to start coming thick and fast over the next few months.- Words: 36

Anywho, I’m wondering if part of the transport plan is some sort of mega expansion of that QUT busway. They could lengthen the platforms, but could they also expand them out at that section to be 4 platforms? It just feels like we are missing a big piece to the PT puzzle. ...Text keeps...- Words: 87

Good detective work fellas. So here is the view from the roof of E Block, almost straight down the barrel of the gully that runs through the driving range and then dog-legs down to Gilchrist. It's not actually going to fit in the gully; they are still going to have to take out a fair chunk of...- Words: 87

I found it to be a pretty enigmatic statement. What does “opposite QUT” mean? Isn’t pretty much the whole park opposite QUT? Or does he just mean on the west side of the park? Or does he mean opposite the "main bit" of QUT? What does “Over the existing golf course” mean? Not over the driving...- Words: 120

The golden media rule is that everything leading up to the Olympics is a disgraceful mess that costs far too much, and then the moment the Olympics start, everything instantly becomes the greatest thing ever and is totally worth it.- Words: 40

I could have been clearer. What I mean is they are not treating that as their primary objective; they did not come out and say "Our goal is to build it within the footprint of the golf driving range" (which is the direction Jacob Anson's comments were leading). I'm sure it will (perhaps even...- Words: 110

Keeping in mind that if you are going to count the driving range as ‘locked public greenspace’, then you have to count the playing surface of the stadium as locked public greenspace as well. I don’t think there is any spin. The driving range takes up an amount of space in the park, and the...- Words: 130

IOC is the most image-conscious thing in the universe. "Games fiasco as gridlocked crowds can't get into stadium" is not a headline they would tolerate. Their oversight board has final approval of a bunch of stuff, including transport infrastructure related to games operations. They have...- Words: 63

No, everything they are saying now is that they are not going to build inside the driving range location. Now it's all about locating it in the flattest part requiring the least earthworks.- Words: 33
