    Probably wouldn't need them if they didn't take so many out of catchment kids in their gifted and talented programs

    Whatever happens, if they need to build anything before the end of 2025 they are almost out of time to hit that target. Otherwise is could very well be year 1 is thsi and then ongoing years are different after that. I'd say most of the holdup is getting cricket and afl to agree on one proposal...

    If we're going to play extra games in Melbourne then if i was a CEO then I would be looking at trying to get those games against the absolute highest drawing team I can possibly get and whether that is marvel or MCG, whatever the best deal i could get. We're going to go through a period of...

    Yeah Melbourne not losing anyone would really cause the afl a headache. But then again who cares it's a melb team

    While I can accept losing players, if melbourne don't lose some big names as well that will be extremely dissappointing and will raise some questions. I know there's not real way to do it but would have been better if the max losses came with some caveat that it had to be spread more evenly.

    In the end the fact that the transport infrastructure was already being built sealed it. The estimated build to get Vic Park or Albion to a semi comparable level was in excess of 5 billion on top of a build. Thats roads, public transport, other related services. Personally I don't love it but...

    Sometimes even on govt projects. Or what usually happens, scope creep extends and other items get added onto it. What would be interesting is whether that's just the stadium build or whether that covers road crosses and surrounding infrastructure. If it goes higher more things will be added to...

    I don't think the words perfectly functional really describe the Gabba accurately. It's one evolution in accessibility legislation from having to undergo a very serious structural retrofit. Not to mention all the other issues with it. Now that is not an attempt to get into the whole should the...

    Would be interesting to see what the demolition beal down is for the project. Guessing it will be much higher than usual projects of the same size. Also will be interesting to see if construction costs do come down a bit by the time they award the contract as well.

    If only you knew. They can be just as hard for govt departments. In this case the building is listed but not the vista it's set in. Add that in there and it's a nightmare!

    Worth remembering that the Gabba has an extensive current and future use plan. The main IOC concern was the bad pr associated with permanent building showing with 5ft high weeds growing out of them post the games like Athens and Brazil. So they went with a minimal new permanent new venues...

    Will be interesting to see how a move would actually go. There's capacity on that site for them to move in without too many changes and under 3 years is not a long time to build new school buildings, even with govt prioritisation. Crazy that this has gone absolutely nowhere for almost 2 years

    I think it will make a massive difference ongoing. Last figure I heard for the gabba for admin and player facilities was close to 1 million per annum. That's a massive saving. Even if it wasn't quite that it would still be a lot for office and other space that size that close to the city Sure...

    Sold his house in Norman Park a few weeks ago so the signing now for a club round the corner is a little strange. Guessing it wasn't the primary plan at the end of last year.
