We welcome back the Christmas windows in 2021 with a new flair, with the exciting addition of a Paolo Sebastian Christmas exhibition refresh, and our Christmas community partner Forage Built’s Calyx 16 prototype. Surrounded by a forest of green foliage and colourful trees, the decorations have been created for visitors to truly immerse themselves in the magic of Christmas and explore the Precinct.

To commemorate Remembrance Day on Thursday 11 November, a minute silence will be observed at 11am in Rundle Mall followed by a live performance of The Last Post by Mr David Fechner. The Rundle Mall music will be turned off for 30 minutes to assist in the minute’s silence.

Road Closures

The RSL will also be holding the annual Remembrance Day Service at the War Memorial on North Terrace. City of Adelaide will be supporting with a road closure to vehicles on North Terrace from King William Street to Pulteney Street. Kintore Avenue from North Tce to Morgan Thomas Lane will also be closed. The road closure will be in place from 10.15am until 11.30am.

Throughout the closure, car park access will be restricted but egress will be maintained out of the Myer Centre carpark (Stephens Place) and U-Park (Gawler Place, left hand exit only onto North Tce). The Wilson carpark will remain open to access for westbound vehicles and egress (right turn only) for the duration of the parade.

As part of Reignite Adelaide, the Friday Night Live program will provide opportunities for musicians to perform at, and partner with businesses, to revitalise and sustain a strong live music presence in the city as we continue to recover from the impacts of COVID-19. Funding is available to City and North Adelaide businesses who are not currently hosting live music, or who have reduced the amount of live music programming due to the impacts of COVID-19. Applications are now open and close 5pm, 18 November 2021.

Construction of 60 King William Street is progressing well as the site comes to life, with Charter Hall nearing completion of the basement slabs. Construction partner, Built, will commence pouring the ground floor slabs in mid-November, with the intention of level 1 slab pours commencing before the end of the year. The building’s core walls are progressing well and already nearing mezzanine level. It will be great to see this building taking shape out of the ground in the coming months.
