Once the building is paid for, we drop back to $1.19 for a coke and $11.90 for the burger.
FYI for those looking for the second oval, you’ll see it to the left at the start of the video.

Only knew that from someone who is closely involved with the bowling club. The bowling club is having a whole new facility being built on land near the brewery.
Near the old West End brewery?
There's a section of land bounded by Ann Nelson Drive, the river and Murray Street they are developing, which will include the bowling club. Just to the east of South Road and south of the river.
About to be the CEO, announced in the last few weeks.
Not sure where the rest of the money is coming from but this article from just a few months ago says we'd need to "take on a $20 million loan to fund the project"
Crows record $1m profit as big Thebarton HQ bill looms - InDaily
The Adelaide Football Club has posted a $1 million profit and a nearly 5 per cent increase in revenue as it begins new club development.
Potentially the surrounding works and community spaces mentioned are included in the $100 million project cost? That would be another $20+ million funded by council and state government.
Maybe $22 million surrounding work, plus $30 million state and federal government, something from the AFL? something for leaving West Lakes? and I imagine there will be some big sponsor and membership fundraisers.

Cool, hopefully they can connect up the footpath along the southern side of the river through to South Rd.

The club is looking to raise around $20million from corporates and supporters as well. Anyone on the membership list who looks like they might have a bit of money is being hit up.

Yep my $35 counts as a membership, as does Kayo subscription.
No one answered this query. Would be nice to have a single list of what has been promised from all sources such as the State, federal Afl and other funds such as any compensation that we should be receiving for leaving West Lakes. After all our early departure benefits the local council.
Also how much would members be prepared to donate to the Thebby project. with 60.000 plus members if they could donate $50 to a special fund that is say tax deductable for next year thats $3mill and if that was practical repeat that for 5 years that $15m for the club so long as its just used for thebby. I live in Brissy but I would be prepared to find $50 each year for the next 5 years and still maintain my membership.
Yeah I know not all 60,000 members could afford that because a lot of those members are children but surely the club could raise that kind of funding through special projects but making sure that the funds are used else where within the club.

Right now I know that:
- State - $15M
- State - $10M (Upgrades to the precinct)
- Feds - $15M
- Council - $11.2M (This money may be earmarked for general precinct upgrades only, I'm not sure. Though be spent on things like refurbishment of old grand stands or other heritage buildings within the AFC lease for example?)
- AFL - ? (Funding from the AFL was dependent on meeting certain criteria that included a second oval - hence why a second oval of some description was important - and the 2nd oval we'll have initially just meets minimum size requirements)
- AFC (Westlakes) - ?
State $10M and Councils $11.2M is precinct, but maybe we are including that in the $100M estimate?
So the above, add the $20M from corporate and supporters mentioned above, $10M between AFL and leaving West Lakes, and a $20M loan gets to the $100M.

Here are some hypothetical numbers.
I've read that $40 million is coming from the State and Fed Governments. There $15 million each and an additional $10 million coming for South Road redevelopment compensation.
I also suspect that we must be getting some incentive to get out of West Lakes otherwise we'd just rent out the space we have for the next 30 years. It's a decent parcel of land let's say we get a $10 mill golden parachute from the developers for that.
That puts us at $50 mill
We could also look at corporate funding too ie naming rights at the ground etc we could do a long term deal for 10 years and could also look other types of fund raising ideas from the members that could potentially net us another 10 million.
The AFL and council are providing funding too let's say between them is 10 million.
No doubt the SANFL will want some type of long term installment plan for the $10 mill that we're paying them so that will be money we don't have to borrow.
Even on those rough figures would be a 20 mill loan.

Would think that would have been based on us leaving and no one going in, leaving it free for developers to use - but with the SANFL going in, that stuffs that up.
Based on the squealing around the SANFL using the ground less than us, there's zero chance the oval would be anything other than green space, even if we did leave it empty. The building on the other hand, probably still has a bit of value. The SANFL, however don't seem to want it since they're building on land they own on the other side of the oval (other side of the street even).
Thanks for that summary. Good to have it all in one place.

The SANFL are just getting the oval and as someone else said they're using the land on the western side for the development.
The eastern side where we are currently is being knocked down and appears to be going to be used for housing.
