Re: New Stadium - Time for Cautious Optimism?
why when we are getting both? If i was a betting man, i bet the stadium hasnt been announced yet because the architects havent come back to Colin with a completely different stadium design as of yet. gotta time it right so all of this is either a) ready just before next election or b) the one after that. too soon or too late and advantage is lost. its aaallll politics.
Re: New Stadium - Time for Cautious Optimism?
Both are important mate.
We have this beautiful river with nothing on it so this will be a start.
The stadium will happen also and if I was a betting man it will be at Burswood. It is in prime location and with the waterfront getting done this will be the start of it all linking together and making it brilliant.
Even money its Burswood for me, maybe even odds on.

Re: New Stadium - Time for Cautious Optimism?
Cant really compare the two.
The foreshore is expected to have a net cost of 300 million. The stadium will be another billion more than that I expect.
If we get both of these announced within 6 months though, that's a pretty amazing achievement for Perth. Not to mention all the other developments around the CBD.

The cultural centre is expected to cost in excess of 500 million dollars but it will be a building of national importance.

Earthworks by 2014, just the inlet dug out and roads realigned. All of those pretty buildings will take a very long time.

That patch of grass to the right looks like a nice spot for a stadium as well

I hate to say it, but Perth needs the foreshore redevelopment more than the stadium.

So $440m buys a hole in the ground?

Re: New Stadium - Time for Cautious Optimism?
I agree.
To me its on par with installing one of those bunnings style water features on the front lawn. I do like the cable car from Kings park though, thats a good idea.

Re: New Stadium - Time for Cautious Optimism?
I didnt mean for it to sound like an ultimatum, I realize thats what I did though.
If Barnett gets both through in his term he may as well not leave the seat to campaign in the next election.

Re: New Stadium - Time for Cautious Optimism?
I think the fact that there seems to be a reasonably even argument when it comes to the foreshore and the stadium on a footy website suggests that maybe the foreshore is more important. As much as i hate to say it.

Re: New Stadium - Time for Cautious Optimism?
It's just not in the initial plans. I think it will still go ahead.

Well you get about $170 mill back in land sales and also create something interesting for tourists to do in the city.
No point attracting people to the city only for them to do diddly swat.
Cable cars will be privately built and run.
No cost to tax payers money.

I thought yesterday he was saying the cable cars were still on the cards at a cost of $30m, potentially to be added later.
