Opinion New AFC HQ: We're on like Donkey Kong!

[CrowinNT]

Can someone please confirm what level of tender process was this ? Local Government? Subbed out to Consultants?
1970crow can you help in my NT understanding
I know our processes are different I suspect. We in my years published weightings.

You’d want to be the major lease holder if you’re putting a $60-75 million facility onto a site.
This must be a non negotiable.

Mildly confident that this won't even be an option to not be true from our perspective. Banks and governments aren't lending/granting million$ to an organisation based on a 5+5+5.

I wonder how Unit sales are going at the moment? I was under the impression there’s a bit of an exodus from high rise units in favour of bigger properties with Corona around. I know that price rises certainly haven’t been experienced in the unit market compared to houses.

I don't know really and I don't know what's going on with realestate.com.au. But the average appears to be around $660k asking price and there's not many landed properties in those suburbs. Properties close to the city will always be in high demand. You may never get the sexy boom, but you're pretty much certain to experience sound regular price growth.

Obviously Adelaide and Melbourne have experienced covid differently and I have no idea about buying apartments but in my own experience of renting in Melbourne, and having to move twice since covid, stand alone dwellings became increasingly difficult to rent with lots of people moving from apartments to bigger properties in the wake of repeated lockdowns

Filthy Victorians have been buying up properties in the South East like they're going out of fashion. I wonder if people might be starting to regret the investment. Properties here are selling for tens of thousands above their high price point.

I reckon the thought of footy club and footy crowd would be a turn off.

But that's guessing

I highly doubt it would have impacted at all. After all, long gone are the days of clubrooms for professional football clubs, unless they're holding onto a link to the past/regional area.

Town houses in the developments at Bowden, Tonsley, and Fletcher's Slip are selling just about as quickly as each batch is put up for off the plan sale. Lights View is already sold out.

Yep, we don't agree on the Crouch's, but there's no doubt that there is a massive demand for near city property. Anyone arguing differen is a little demented.

I get Bowden but not lights view. That place sucks.

It's a 15 minute drive from the city centre, half my office ended up buying in there to escape the rental trap. Bowden is nice, but just too expensive for the average Adelaide office worker. I'm struggling to afford Tonsley, the cheapest of the lot, albeit as a single rather than a couple.

 

[CrowMike]

I wonder if any of these random sites will be leaked out today. Wouldn't be too hard to figure out when a large group is looking at a vacant block?

15 minutes is generous (more like 20). Maybe at 4am. Still not too bad but that's literally the only thing going for it. My friend bought there too and I hate going there. It's just a soulless place in a dead zone with poorly built boxes.

Western suburbs presented good prices (at least before covid) and I'm not sure why people have been so averse to it. 15 minutes to the city and the beach. Easy access to North and south.

Going by the number of Advertiser articles about the site I wouldn't be surprised

I doubt there are any apart from Thebarton

There is no sight that will satisfy the majority of Crows supporters. The Wishlist across all supporters includes;

1) Walking distance from Adelaide Oval.

2) A “Shed” for post game celebrations.

3) Facilities for supporters to watch Crows training.

4) Capacity to hold closed doors training sessions.

5) Dining and drinking facilities for supporters.

6) Home ground for AFLW and SANFL teams.

Have I missed any others?

State of the art training facility i would have thought would be top of the list.

 

[Crows I Am]

The SAAFL would just like new offices and hosting ability for their Grand Finals I'd imagine.

If this is to work well we have to be the head tenant.

What sort of offices would SANFL be putting there? I would assume their head office would remain at Adelaide Oval.

Massive demand for hills property too, with Mitcham Hills, Stirling etc mostly selling on first open for record amounts. Even the bigger country towns are booming like never before.

I don't need a 'Shed'. Personally think those days are long gone. AFLW, SANFL, and Summer preseason games are essential in my thinking.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ample parking

Plenty of room along South Road....

Gather they would need to go underground like they were proposing for the Aquatics Centre.

What about North Adelaide, we can redo the aquatic centre for the ACC?

• Save 3 layers of government $40m
• Plenty of oval space we can redevelop
• Ample space for car parking (ACC can take a huge win here)
• Close to AO - we can all start there and do "The March"
• Walking distance to O'Connell Street and their businesses who I'm sure could do with a boost after COVID
• Plus there's already commercial entityies on the parklands sone of the ACC BS about not having commercial entities on the parklands (Aquatic Centre, Pavilion on the Park, Tree Climb, Rymill Park cafe, BPS Old Scholars football club, etc)

CHARLES Sturt Mayor Angela Evans says her council is disappointed about the scuttling of the Adelaide Football Club’s bid to redevelop the former Brompton Gasworks site for new headquarters.
The club’s plans for the inner-western Adelaide site had been developed after engaging with the council, she said, and reflected the community’s interests.
“We are disappointed for the Crows. They worked hard to prepare a bid that not only created a future for their club, but engaged with the City of Charles Sturt to create an opportunity for our community to grow and enjoy green open space,” Ms Evans told The Advertiser.
Ms Evans, also the Local Government Association president, welcomed the successful bidder, MAB Corporation, declaring the council looked forward to establishing a relationship and was “excited to support a vision for the site where people can live, work and visit in a way that enhances their lives”.
“Our role as a council is to represent our passion for our Charles Sturt community, the natural environment and the importance of shared-use, public open space, as well as integrating the existing unique elements and residents of Bowden with this new space,” she said.

"Disappointed" for us, but the chorus of cash register sounds from increased council rate revenue due to the high to medium density residential development on the site makes her happy.
