Other Ideas Small, unique and low cost ideas can often be the most beneficial to a city. We would hope some of the ideas below can be integrated into our city easily and quickly to begin turning the tide of failed projects and promises. We hope to create a sense of “its happening” in our city. Name Vision “ City of Light” Winter Light Festival ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Floating Torrens Bars Luxury boats to either replace or complement the existing Popeye operation to be fitted out as public or private cocktail bars. Operation likely to be limited to Friday – Sunday. Would be attractive for corporate shows and on new year’s eve celebrations. International Gardens Introduce a section of the Parklands dedicated to garden landscapes from around the world. Develop an annual landscape and gardening festival events where people can build and landscape a section of the gardens and popular displays can remain for the next year. ‘ World Street’ Dedicate one street in western section of the CBD to reflect unique architectural techniques seen in buildings around the world. Government grants to be supplied to developers to encourage construction. Removal of Adelaide High School Demolish and relocate to CBD – either construct new building or fitout an existing government building. This will allow substantial space to either be returned to parklands or for better public use facilities and events spaces. North Adelaide Golf Course Investigate possibilities for alterations to the existing layout including combining the South/North Golf Course into one ‘Championship-Level” golf course either in its current location or relocated to the North Parklands. The development could be linked to the Next Generation Complex. Potential increased membership to Next Generation and the Golf Club would aid in presenting a strong business case to support the development. Redevelop Adelaide Aquatic Centre Abandon the proposed state aquatic centre at Marion. All major state buildings need to be located in the city if possible. Locating our major aquatic centre in the western suburbs will neglect the eastern and hills suburbs much like AAMI Stadium and Morphetville Race Course. The location of these developments is often as important as the standard of the facility. An upgrade of the Adelaide Aquatic Centre in North Adelaide is the logical decision aided by our proposed tram extension. West Parklands Mirror the currently magnificent landscape of the East Parklands in the west parklands. Investigate the option of wetlands / lagoon for water activity.
