Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[Suitman]

I snuck through a hole on the fence and recorded this for you merkins.

While you were there, you should have punched Stuart Ayres in the head for sucking up to the SCG Trust and f**king the ANZ rebuild.

 

[strider]

It was 70% finished a page ago. What's the hold up?

they have to keep halting construction cos of all the merkins sneaking through the hole in the fence

 

[hineyrulz]

I blame Chiefly, all his scoops are getting in the way.

 

[chiefy1]

It's very exciting !

 

[T-Boon]

What f**kin porn do you watch?

retro.

 

[chiefy1]

Boys, I'm telling you, once you see this in the flesh, it will be like winning a comp it is that good.

Clubs like Manly and Penrith will be salivating.

Its very exciting

What I think the city of Parramatta needs to do is beautify the river. I think they should get it to a state that you can swim in it. Get a beach in some where near the bridge near Parramatta park. Most great cities in the world have a beach.

ps: also ban homeless people from the beach.

This has been talked about for a few years now and is not totally off the cards.

Yes but will you be able to swim in it, or should I say, would you want to swim in it? That is the key. I reckon the whole river should be beautified and made swimable. Same with Cooks river. They are such wasted opportunities for both the public and commercial enterprise. Also rowing clubs should be part of the equation. Make these rivers come to life and be the hub of so many inner suburbs.

But hey, our Govs are useless, so none of it will happen. We'll be lucky to get just what's in that picture.

Yeah, all of that. Plus, they didn't leave room for the lifeguard tower so there goes the new TV series 'Parramatta Rescue'.

I'm no expert, but I reckon that the rehabilitation of the Parramatta & Cooks Rivers to the extent that they can be fished and be safe for swimming is an impossible task.

Even if stormwater runoff now is clean and free from debris and chemical residue, how the hell do you remove the toxic sludge from the silt from 100 years of industrial abuse ? The Parramatta river is 14km long and you may even have to deal with both Toongabbie and Duck Creeks which are upstream.

I would be interested to see if there is any river which flows through a major city that has been successfully rehabilitated to this extent.

There is a standing wave in a river in Munich Germany that people surf though I don't know how dirty it ever was/is. Obviosuly it moves faster than th Parra river which helps with keeping it cleaner

Sounds like a heap of excuses.

 

[Snoochies]

Just build your own beach next to the river like they have at Southbank in Brissy

You're right. South Korea are transforming their Han, Nakdong, Geum and Yeongsan rivers.

Unfortunately when you get past the ferry wharf heading upstream you not only have to jump a weir but over the years the next 200m of the river have been turned into a canal with concrete sides and bottom.

Cleaning that up and giving it more of a "river" feel would be a huge endeavour.

Most great cities in the world have a beach..

London? Paris? Tokyo? Beijing? Madrid? Rome? Berlin? Prague? Amsterdam? Edinburgh? Dallas? New York? Washington DC? Melbourne? Stockholm? Moscow? Seoul? Kuala Lumper?

That pool contains at least 20% hobo piss.

I am sure I could find beaches for these cities as well.

KL are fixing the Klang.

One of the primary goals of the River of Life project is to turn water quality from class 5, a designation that makes it dangerous to approach, to class 2b, or clean enough to swim in. The idea is to do the same thing Shanghai did with its Huangpu River, a tributary of the Yangtze that flows through the city’s center, and was once one of the smelliest and dirtiest rivers in the world.

Shanghai constructed a network of new sewage treatment plants that eliminated the odor, cleaned up the water, and compelled the city to build the Bund, a shoreline promenade to showcase the cascades of light, like shimmering waterfalls, that tumble down the sides of Shanghai’s skyscrapers.
