Perth Stadium

We've reached this part of the thread have we?

You say it like its a foregone conclusion.

Actually a good effort, the SA equivalent was probably ****ed from page 1.

 

[BG32]

Ugh why so late for us Victorians

 

[wahawk]

Bit small though, no?

thats just a scaled down picture

the real thing will be bigger

The only recent big infrastructure project in Perth that has been on time and not over budget is the Mandurah train line. Expect this one to be a couple of years behind schedule and $100 million over budget.

like most things done here, it'll only be half of what they need now.

there's not a real lot of forward thinking when it comes to infrastructure in WA

For a state that generates SOOOOOO much of the countries export $ you would think we would have the best of everything and ahead of when needed. But alas we have the ONLY monetary tight arsed state government in the country and everyone else in the country benefits first. What a weird situation.

Damn, was just thinking about the two clubs monetary position with the new stadium, obviously they will be worse off - we already have everyone in the world including North Melb getting their share of the takings at Subi, how much worse off will they be with the government also wanting to pay it off as soon as possible?

Looks really ugly from the outside. Those wooden looking panels all around, wtf are they thinking?

It looks like the piece of wood that results from using a hole saw on a door or a thick bit of ply.

Would like to see some type of Jetty for water taxi's or ferry's to take people to Perth, Sth Perth and Fremantle.
We really don't take advantage of our river system like some of the other cities when it comes to transport.

every time I see your little boutique it reminds me of all those see-sawed opened lid tin cans polluting the side of your roads - but just like the rustic hues of our new stadium will be symbolic of WA, the empty discarded tin can is symbolic of Geelong

actually I should say aluminium can - more pertinent

People writing in the Perth Now comment section saying the money should be spent on more hospitals.

Yep, doctors and pharmaceutical reps are doing it tough.

Equalisation of tax reciepts means a lot of it currently flows east. Also no politcal 'gain' for either side to actually spend here when there is the same population and more seats up for grab in that shit hole that is Western Sydney.

 

[HungLong]

The model itself look unfinished and rusty. Look alright on the inside but the outside is very ugly.

I know. They could at least rust-proof it. Probably no room in the budget.

would like - so true - but oh so bad the reality

Things are getting done now, but not much was achieved in the last 30yrs. Not compared to what could/should have been achieved, with mining royalties etc.
Not that i want this to turn into a political argument

Same material they built the Barclay's Centre out of, will look brilliant, just wait.

That's the balancing act that most don't fully appreciate. Whilst we hate debt, we actually over hate it from a government point of view - development $ through a certain level of debt is actually very good for the economy - it creates much $ in the economy through the multiplier effect, more wealth, taxes etc etc. as well as the real benefits $ and standard of living we enjoy from that development.

What are the acoustics like?

I understand that the sails will be angled and aligned to direct all booing straight to the opposition coaches box and special glass that amplifies the effect will be rolled in for Brad Scott.

Can we have another big screen installed that only shows Brad Scott, can we, can we?

Why are those in the west so obsessed with tiers?

First the three tiered stand.... now this?

Due to be open in time for the start of the 2018 AFL season, the five tiered stadium is planned to hold up to 60,000 people

Only Brad Scott's. Which just keep flowing.

Should be ready on time. Stadiums aren't really as complex as other buildings when you think about it. Most of the volume is empty space! In reality you're pouring the outside circumference.

Tell that to the people who designed Olympic Stadium in Montreal!

This seems like a fairly conservative design, with no elements that haven't already been done elsewhere. Montreal's stadium had that god-awful leaning tower with a retractable kevlar umbrella roof. We won't be trying anything so ambitious.

I don't think ours will have to deal with snow, the shifting weight balance problems of snow in blizzards and just normal winds, and the other specialized roof issues they have. At least for a couple of climate change cycles
