A New Masterplan for Adelaide's Riverbank Precinct Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net A New Masterplan for Adelaide’s Riverbank Precinct Author : kristen-avis The South Australian government has begun consultations on what should be done in four integral areas including Bonython Park, the old Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) site, the core entertainment area, and the biomedical precinct in order to link the CBD and North Adelaide to attract more activity and investment. Premier Jay Weatherill is confident of the potential of Adelaide’s Riverbank precinct, saying it “will be better than anything other major Australian cities have to offer,” offering Sydney’s Darling Harbour and Melbourne’s Docklands as comparisons. The precinct will include entertainment, retail, arts and sport facilities with work ranging from redevelopment of the Festival Centre to a $40 million footbridge across the Torrens, upgrades to the Adelaide Casino, and the redeveloped Adelaide Oval. Weatherill admits Adelaide has never fully used the river to its advantage but says the new plan will create a new identity for the city with a busy park in the middle of Adelaide. “The River Torrens winding through the heart of Adelaide is one of our city’s best assets,” he says. Adelaide Footbridge Construction Weatherill is inviting South Australians to voice their opinions on how to best revamp the area. Deputy Premier and Planning Minister John Rau says the implementation plan for the Riverbank precinct will be displayed at the Adelaide Convention Centre on June 30. 1 / 3 Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net Developers hope to finalise a blueprint for the area by August. “This grand plan provides an opportunity to elevate our city’s Riverbank to a major destinationof the quality of the Barossa Valley, Kangaroo Island and the Flinders Ranges,” says Weatherill. Unveiled June 24, the Greater Riverbank Implementation Plan will: Define the Riverbank’s role in the Government’s Vibrant City commitment Create a framework for design work for the old RAH site Outline strategies to maximise use of the existing cultural precinct Provide opportunities to benefit the medical precinct around the new RAH Encourage investment in the Festival Plaza around the new footbridge and Convention Centre upgrade Initiate debate on possible uses for the old Adelaide Gaol, police barracks and the Bonython park site Stretching from Bowden to Gilberton, the Riverbank precinct will encompass the area from the city’s east at the old Royal Adelaide site to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital in the city’s west. Several pathways through the park will draw residents and visitors from all sides of the city. “Planned or committed investment in the Greater Riverbank Precinct already surpasses $4.5 billion, which translates to tens of thousands of construction jobs and thousands of ongoing jobs for South Australians,” says Housing and Urban Development Minister Tom Koutsantonis. Koutsantonis says a 20-year investment plan for the area outlines a bright future for employment in the area. Proposed Development 2 / 3 Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net “Not only can we create a great park that befits a vibrant city, but we can also generate jobs and ongoing economic activity that will benefit all South Australians,” he says. He hopes that a clear vision for the area will enable the precinct to build on current investment in the Adelaide Oval, Convention Centre, and Footbridge as well as the updated railway station. South Australians have eagerly been awaiting word on the future of the old Royal Adelaide Hospital site which will be announced soon, along with proposed development for the site set out in the new Riverbank precinct plan. Tim Horton, former Integrated Design Commissioner thinks reconnecting people with the River Torrens is a step in the right direction for Adelaide, saying the former rail yards robbed people of access to the river for too long. “The master plan is very much about connecting the city back with the river,” he says. Horton says a plan for the entire river region is necessary and believes if the project is carried out properly,“it should drive residential growth plans over time.” 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

There are three stages to the clearance process. Many students will only need to complete the first stage; however some students will also need to complete the second or third stage. IMPORTANT: Some vaccinations can interfere with the blood test that is used to screen for Tuberculosis. For this reason, you should delay any vaccinations until AFTER you have been cleared by SA TB Services, or until you have received your IGRA test results. Stage 1: Online Questionnaire Complete the online questionnaire found at https://tbq.sahealth.sa.gov.au/tbquestionnaire. Once your responses have been assessed, you will receive an email from SA TB Services advising you that either: a) You have completed the TB Screening requirements, OR b) You are required to attend a GP to arrange an IGRA blood test Stage 2: General Practitioner (GP) – IGRA Test If you are instructed by SA TB Services to undergo an IGRA test, you will need to make an appointment with a GP. You are strongly encouraged to utilise the Flinders University Health Service. You should bring along this bundle of information to all your appointments. At your first appointment, the GP will arrange your blood test. You will be required to see the GP again for your results at a follow-up appointment. Your GP will complete the TB Clearance for Clinical Placement Healthcare Worker form.

  • Adelaide, South Australia... Now Is the Time! Now Is the Time!
    ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA... NOW IS THE TIME! NOW IS THE TIME! Adelaide, South Australia is positioning itself on a global scale for major conventions. The destination is currently undergoing an unprecedented level of infrastructure development and investment, which will further enhance the city’s already renowned ‘ease of use’ functionality and services to the Business Events sector. A vital component is the re-development of Adelaide’s ‘Riverbank Precinct’ - home to Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Casino, InterContinental Adelaide and surrounding plazas. This area is developing as a world-class convention and entertainment precinct creating a lively and connected promenade including a footbridge linking the Adelaide Oval and northern side of the River Torrens. Complementing these developments is a world leading Health and Medical Research Institute, and other key health and medical developments, cementing Adelaide’s reputation as a hub for related conventions. Adelaide Convention Bureau CEO Damien Kitto underlines the importance of this commitment; “As we all know, to be successful in the global convention market, a destination must have the right mix, standard and location of core convention infrastructure. By enhancing and growing the Riverbank precinct Adelaide is not only able to service major conventions of 3000+ delegates, but is also creating unique synergies with institutions that will drive and support convention content. Our city has great ambition and intention in this area.” MERCURE

The traditional film based system existing in Sri Lanka is fast becoming obsolete with an array of shortcomings and drawbacks such as high turnaround time, film loss and high cost of generation, storage and transport. PACS in combination with the Hospital Information System (HIS) and the Radiological Information System (RIS) provides seamless integration of patient and administrative data to digital images. It also provides remote and multiple accesses to all digital images and image manipulation, thus, providing solutions for current issues in Sri Lanka. Though, with an ocean of benefits around the corner the practical application of such a system is indeed not straight forward for a developing nation with limited resources. The practical implications of the lack of basic technology, network infrastructure, qualified personnel, strategy and legal backing need to be addressed.

  • Anzsog Case Program
    ANZSOG CASE PROGRAM On Solid Ground? Using a Public Private Partnership to build a new flagship hospital in Adelaide 2019-205.1 Kevin Foley was a worried man. It was November 2008 and the South Australian State Treasurer had been advised that there might not be funds available globally to build the New Royal Adelaide Hospital. The reputational stakes for South Australia were high. The new hospital would be one of the most expensive buildings being constructed anywhere in the world at that time.1 It presented an opportunity for the State to provide international leadership in health facility design. The decision to use a Public Private Partnership (PPP) to procure the new facility would also test the ability of a small provincial government to generate commercial appetite for its flagship project and to use that mechanism to deliver value for money for its taxpayers. For that to happen, the developers would need to access international capital markets. But as the value of the Australian dollar plummeted following the Lehman Brothers’ collapse, and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC)2 accelerated, he was disconcerted to hear that those funds might have dried up. At the same time, political pressure over the idea of a new hospital showed no signs of abating. The use of the PPP procurement method was working as a sub-issue allowing the project’s opponents to attack it. 1 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-24/new-royal-adelaide-hospital-all-you-need-to-know/8206416 2 The Global Financial Crisis was described by the Reserve Bank of Australia as the deepest recession since the Great Depression in the 1930s for the major advanced economies while “…financial markets became dysfunctional as everyone tried to sell at the same time and many institutions wanting new financing could not obtain it.” https://www.rba.gov.au/education/resources/explainers/the-global-financial-crisis.html This case was written by Tim O’Loughlin, Carnegie Mellon University Australia, with input from Helen Galindo, for the Australia and New Zealand School of Government.
