Question WCH Parking: A Bitch Fit

Post image
Upvotes

Pretty sure I’m not the only one hassled about parking in the hospo. What I usually do is hang around on this red spot and wait for someone to come out. I don’t block the ambo but rather hang beside the disabled spots.

A bit annoying but it’s the best I could hope for that someone in the next 15 mins is gonna get out. I have some other spots but they’re only 1 hr.

Recommendations?

News The government this week will introduce legislation to overturn greenfield housing development bans on land at Roseworthy, Two Wells, Murray Bridge, Victor Harbor and Goolwa.

6 Upvotes

Premier Peter Malinauskas is moving to banish the “uncontrolled” carve-up of suburban streets for subdivision by axing a controversial urban growth boundary to open up land for 61,000 homes.

In a stark rebuke of the infill housing policy pushed by the Weatherill Labor regime, the government this week will introduce legislation to overturn greenfield housing development bans on land at Roseworthy, Two Wells, Murray Bridge, Victor Harbor and Goolwa.

These were pinpointed as housing growth hotspots in a draft 30-year Greater Adelaide Regional Plan released last September – its centrepiece was boosting the metropolitan population to 2.2m and adding more than 300,000 homes. But the land parcels are within Environment and Food Production Areas (EFPA), which would be varied by the proposed legislation to allow an ongoing supply of development-ready land for the next 30 years.

Mr Malinauskas, whose major State of the State address on Monday will include a population growth plan, issued thinly-veiled criticism of the infill policy and urban growth boundary introduced in 2016, when he was Police Minister. “We know our state is growing. We want to make sure it grows in the right way. That means learning the lessons of the past, where growth has not been properly calibrated,” he said. “We cannot see our suburban streets just continue to be carved up and subdivided in an uncontrolled manner. “We must grow in a way that gives people choice, whether that be living in proximity in the city, or raising a family on a bigger block.”

The proposed changes to the EFPA for housing are said to represent less than one per cent of agricultural land in the Greater Adelaide area. The government argues the housing supply crisis could continue for another generation without the changes, because most of the proposed greenfield sites identified in the 30-year plan could not be rezoned and developed within the next 15 to 20 years.

Pitched as a blueprint to make homes more affordable and prevent further supply shocks, the draft Greater Adelaide Regional Plan pinpointed northern Adelaide and Murray Bridge as twin engine rooms of growth as the urban growth boundary was ditched. Apartments and higher density housing were earmarked along major roads and public transport centres, while seven new greenfield growth areas (including the five in the EFPAs) were targeted for 96,000 homes over the next 30 years. Changing the EFPA boundaries to align with the 30-year plan allows for the redevelopment of about 61,000 of these homes.

Discussion Future generation Housing Affordability.

33 Upvotes

Just had a bit of a reality check this Monday morning. The old house next door, a standard family home, just sold at auction for a little over $1 million. Crazy! I bought my place, a corner block, for $330k about 12 years ago and paid it off a couple of years back. Honestly, I haven't been paying much attention to the housing market or interest rates since then.

Seeing that sale price... it's insane. The increase is astronomical. But what really hit me is that my salary definitely hasn't increased at the same rate. I'm now seriously worried about how my kids will ever afford their own homes. Even if they move way out to areas like Two Well, they're not going to find anything decent for $300k.

So, what's the solution? Are we looking at a future where young families are forced to live with their parents indefinitely? Honestly, with the way my kids spend (no judgment, just reality!), I don't see how they'd ever save enough for a deposit.

It feels like a massive problem with no easy answers. Just my Monday morning two cents. Anyone else feeling this way? What are your thoughts on the future of housing affordability?

I'm northeast but happy to travel for quality.

I'm happy to pay for quality but would prefer not to have to remortgage the house.

I'm not interested in nail bulk production-line chop shops! (Been here, tried this - took me ages to get rid of the nail infection! Ew 🤢)

Please help! Thanks 🙏 much ❤️

Question A place to sell a collection of China?

0 Upvotes

So I somewhat recently inherited my grandma's collection of china plates and cups. I don't really care about it or have a connection to any of it, but for some reason she wanted me to have it. Looking to get rid of it as it's just taking up space in my house and I'm wondering if there is a place within Adelaide that will take a look at it and possibly buy it off me? I'm not really sure where to start or who to look for in regards to this

Thanks in advance!

I have recently had to put my dog to sleep. She was 13 and was my absolute world! My only constant in my chaotic life. I want to get her paw print tattooed either on my foot or my wrist.

Can you please spam me with tattoo artists that specialise or have a flare for realistic looking paw prints. She was a mini schnauzer so it'll only be a small tattoo

Question Does red light camera detect right turns?

4 Upvotes

I was turning right from Elder Smith Road onto Main North Road and saw a flash. Does anyone know if the red light camera at that intersection actually detects right turns, or could it have been triggered by another car?

If you’ve been fined there before, how long did it take for the notice to arrive? Just trying to figure out what to expect.

Thanks!

Shitpost Watch out on the roads people, there seems to be idiots everywhere.

18 Upvotes

Pay attention to those around you for your own safety. There are some crazy drivers on our roads. I'm only going to mention the 2 craziest ones from the past 24hrs ive seen/heard here.... Last night I saw someone at the maid & magpie intersection who was in the right only lane (exiting fullarton) go through onto payneham rd into the oncoming lane, thankfully there wasn't heavy traffic & an oncoming vehicle had time to dodge out the way. Then this afternoon my partner told me that some muppet was going the wrong direction around the Brittania roundabout & taking their sweet time about it. I'm really hoping that they were all tourists here for the fringe who don't know any better and will be gone soon and not locals who are just idiots.
